Configure the Switch's IP Address for the Management VLAN

You can configure the switch's IP address for the management virtual LAN (VLAN).

Log in to the management console, connect to the switch, and follow these steps.

If the switch has no saved configuration, a startup provisioning script asks the user about management connectivity and security:

By default, Auto-Provisioning uses DHCP on all Ethernet ports as this switch attempts to connect to an Extreme Networks management product. Instead of using DHCP, do you want to 'disable auto-provision' and configure a static IP address, default gateway and DNS server now? [y/N/q]:

From the CLI "=" prompt, you can enter run provisioning to run the provisioning script.

Or you can use the vlan CLI command to assign a name, IP address, and default subnetwork mask for the VLAN.

1. Assign a name, IP address, and default subnetwork mask for the VLAN as shown in the following example. configure vlan vlan_name ipaddress nn.nn.nn.nn 255.255.255.0

   Your changes take effect immediately.

2. Enter save to save your configuration changes so that they will be in effect after the next system reboot.
   

   Note

   For more information about saving configuration changes, see the Switch Engine 32.7.1 User Guide .

The configuration is saved to the configuration database of the switch.
