Configuration Guide 20
Accessing the Switch Command Line Interface Access
3.7 Change the Switch's IP Address and Default Gateway
If you want to access the switch via a specified port (hereafter referred to as the access
port), you can configure the port as a routed port and specify its IP address, or configure
the IP address of the VLAN which the access port belongs to.

Change the IP Address
By default, all the ports belong to VLAN 1 with the VLAN interface IP 192.168.0.1/24. In
the following example, we will show how to replace the switch’s default access IP address
192.168.0.1/24 with 192.168.0.10/24.
Switch#configure
Switch(config)#interface vlan 1
Switch(config-if)#ip address 192.168.0.10 255.255.255.0
The connection will be interrupted and you should telnet to the switch's new IP address
192.168.0.10.
C:\Users\Administrator>telnet 192.168.0.10
User:admin
Password:admin
Switch>enable
Switch#copy running-config startup-config

Configure the Default Gateway
In the following example, we will show how to configure the switch’s gateway as
192.168.0.100. By default, the switch has no default gateway.
Switch#configure
Switch(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.100 1
Switch(config)#end
Switch#copy running-config startup-config
