Assigning an IPv4 Address
Before you can assign an IP address to the switch, you must obtain the
following information from your network administrator:
• IP address for the switch
• Network mask for this network
• Default gateway for the network
To assign an IPv4 address to the switch, complete the following steps:
1. From the Global Configuration mode prompt, type “interface vlan 1”
to access the interface-configuration mode. Press <Enter>.
2. Type “ip address ip-address netmask,” where “ip-address” is the switch
IP address and “netmask” is the network mask for the network. Press
<Enter>.
3. Type “exit” to return to the global configuration mode prompt. Press
<Enter>.
4. To set the IP address of the default gateway for the network to which
the switch belongs, type “ip default-gateway gateway,” where “gateway”
is the IP address of the default gateway. Press <Enter>.
Assigning an IPv6 Address
There are several ways to manually configure IPv6 addresses. This section
describes how to configure a “link local” address for connectivity within
the local subnet only, and another option that allows you to specify a
“global unicast” address by first configuring a network prefix for use on a
multi-segment network, and then configuring the host address portion of
the address.
An IPv6 prefix or address must be formatted according to RFC 2373
“IPv6 Addressing Architecture,” using 8 colon-separated 16-bit
hexadecimal values. One double colon may be used to indicate the
Console(config)#interface vlan 1 24-2
Console(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.5 255.255.255.0 36-4
Console(config-if)#exit
Console(config)#ip default-gateway 192.168.1.254 36-6
Console(config)#
