Configuring the IP address
You can configure the device with a static IP address, or you can use a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server to set the IP
address of the switch. DHCP is enabled by default. The device supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Using DHCP to set the IP address
When using DHCP, the switch obtains its IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address from the DHCP server. The DHCP
client can only connect to a DHCP server that is on the same subnet as the switch. If your DHCP server is not on the same subnet as the
switch, use a static IP address.
Setting a static IP address
To set a static IP address for the device, complete the following steps.
1. Log in to the device as admin.
2. Use the
ipaddrset
command to set the Ethernet IP address.
•
If you are going to use an IPv4 address, enter the IP address in dotted decimal notation as prompted.
Ethernet IP Address: [192.168.74.102]
•
If you are going to use an IPv6 address, enter the network information in colon-separated notation as prompted.
device:admin> ipaddrset -ipv6 --add 1080::8:800:200C:417A/64
IP address is being changed...Done.
3. Complete the rest of the network information as prompted. (IPv4 format shown):
Ethernet Subnetmask: [255.255.255.0]
Ethernet IP Address: [192.168.74.102]
Gateway IP Address: [192.168.74.1]
4. Enter
off
to disable DHCP when prompted.
DHCP [OFF]: off
Setting the date and time
The date and time settings are used for logging events, error detection, and troubleshooting. However, device operation does not depend
on the date and time; a device with incorrect date or time values still functions properly.
You can synchronize the local time of the principal or primary fabric configuration server (FCS) device to that of an external Network Time
Protocol (NTP) server.
Perform the following steps to set the date and time.
1. Log in to the device as admin.
