 How To Assign An IP To Switch
IP address is the address of device in network. Switch allows us to set IP address on interface level. IP address assigned on interface
is used to manage that particular interface. To manage entire switch we have to assign IP address to VLAN1( Default VLAN of
switch). Also set default gateway IP address from global configuration mode. In following example I would assign IP :176.16.2.50
255.255.0.0 to VLAN1
Switch>enable
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface vlan1
Switch(config-if)# ip address 172.16.2.50 255.255.0.0

Switch(config-if)# no shutdown
Switch(config-if)# exit
