Configuring the Default IP Address
Configuring the Default IP Address will result in the IP address to be written to the NVRAM and this will be used as the IP address of the default interface when the switch is restarted.
Note: To login into Skylight Flex, enter your username (default is root) and password (default is admin123).
- Execute the following commands to configure the Default IP Address. Enter the Global Configuration mode:
Your Product# configure terminal
Configure the default IP address and subnet mask as 10.0.0.100 and 255.255.0.0, respectively.
Your Product(config)# default ip address 10.0.0.100 subnet-mask 255.255.0.0
Exit from the Global Configuration mode.
Your Product(config)#end
- View the default IP address and subnet mask by executing the following command.
Your Product# show nvram
Note: VLAN 1 (default VLAN) will have this IP address and subnet mask after the switch restart only if the allocation method is manual.
Setting the Default IP Allocation Mode for the Switch
Setting the default IP allocation mode for the Switch configures the mode by which the default interface acquires its IP address. The default IP allocation mode for a switch can be manual or dynamic. The default value is manual.
- Execute the following commands to change the default IP allocation mode of the default VLAN. Enter the Global Configuration mode:
Your Product# configure terminal
Configure the default mode to dynamic
Your Product(config)# default mode dynamic
Exit from the Global Configuration mode.
Your Product(config)#end
- View the default mode by executing the following command.
Your Product# show nvram
Note: Skylight Flex uses the dynamic address allocation protocols - BOOTP or DHCP or RARP - to acquire the IP for management VLAN during switch restart.
Configuring Default IP Address Allocation Protocol
Configuring the default IP address allocation protocol configures the protocol by which the default interface dynamically acquires its IP address.
- Execute the following commands to configure the default dynamic address allocation protocol. Enter the Global Configuration mode:
Your Product# configure terminal
Configure the default allocation protocol.
Your Product(config)# default ip address allocation protocol dhcp
Exit from the Global Configuration mode.
Your Product(config)#end
View the default IP Address Allocation Protocol by executing the following command
Your Product# show nvram
