Devices running Layer 2 software
To configure an IP address on a device running Layer 2 software, follow these steps:
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter the following command to change to the Privileged EXEC mode:
PowerConnect> enable
2. Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt (for example, PowerConnect Switch#). This
command erases the factory test configuration if still present.
PowerConnect# erase startup-config
Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a system you
have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentally do erase the
configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory command to save the running
configuration to the startup-config file.
3. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command:
PowerConnect# configure terminal
PowerConnect(config)#
4. Configure the IP address and mask for the switch.
PowerConnect(config)# ip address 192.22.3.44 255.255.255.0
5. Set a default gateway address for the switch.
PowerConnect(config)# ip default-gateway 192.22.3.1
You do not need to assign a default gateway address for single subnet networks.
