4.3 Configurate Switch IP Addresses
All Ethernet ports of switch are default to Data Link layer ports and perform layer 2 forwarding. VLAN interface
represent a Layer 3 interface function which can be assigned an IP address, which is also the IP address of
the switch. All VLAN interface related configuration commands can be configured under VLAN Mode. Switch
provides three IP address configuration methods:
 Manual
 BOOTP
 DHCP
Manual configuration of IP address is assign an IP address manually for the switch.
In BOOTP/DHCP mode, the switch operates as a BOOTP/DHCP client, send broadcast packets of
BOOTPRequest to the BOOTP/DHCP servers, and the BOOTP/DHCP servers assign the address on
receiving the request. In addition, switch can act as a DHCP server, and dynamically assign network
parameters such as IP addresses, gateway addresses and DNS server addresses to DHCP clients DHCP
Server configuration is detailed in later chapters.
4.3.1 Switch IP Addresses Configuration Task List
1． Enable VLAN port mode
2． Manual configuration
3． BOOTP configuration
4． DHCP configuration
1. Enable VLAN port mode
Command Explanation
Global Mode
interface vlan <vlan-id>
no interface vlan <vlan-id>
Create VLAN interface (layer 3 interface); the “ no
interface vlan <vlan-id> ” command deletes the
VLAN interface.
2. Manual configuration
Command Explanation
VLAN Port Mode
ip address <ip_address> <mask>
[secondary]
no ip address <ip_address> <mask>
[secondary]
Configure the VLAN interface IP address; the “no
ip address <ip_address> <mask> [secondary]”
command deletes VLAN interface IP address.
ipv6 address <ipv6-address /
prefix-length> [eui-64]
no ipv6 address <ipv6-address /
prefix-length>
Configure IPv6 address, including aggregation global
unicast address, local site address and local link
address. The no form command deletes IPv6
address.
