Assigning an IP Address
Each switch must be assigned its own IP address, which is used for
communication with an SNMP network manager or another TCP/IP
application such as TFTP. (The switch does not have a default IP
address.) You can change the default IP address to meet your networking
address scheme. For the AT-10408XP switch, you assign IP addresses at
the Interface command mode. You can assign an IP address to the 10/
100/1000Base-T port as well as to each 10-Gigabit interface an IP
address. In addition, you can assign the 10/100/1000Base-T port an IP
address that is on a different subnet from interfaces 1 through 8. For more
information about the ports, see “Port Descriptions” on page 36.
There are two ways to assign an IP address to an interface: statically and
dynamically.
To assign a static IP address to an interface, use the following procedure:
1. Enter the Configuration Terminal mode, type:
configure terminal
2. Enter the interface mode, for example, 10/100/1000Base-T port:
interface eth0
3. Enter the IP address in the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy:
ip 158.53.12.1/255.0.0.0
Where the x's represent the IP address and the y's represent the
corresponding subnet mask.
To assign dynamically assign an IP address to an interface, use the
following procedure:
1. Enter the Configuration Terminal mode, type:
configure terminal
2. Enter the interface mode, for example, interface 1:
interface xe1
3. Specify DHCP:
ip dhcp
