© Copyright Lenovo 2015 Chapter 5: Initializing the G7028 71Configuring an IP Interface for Remote AccessTo manage the switch remotely using Telnet, SNMP, or a web-browser, you mustfirst configure an IP interface. You can use DHCP to automatically configure theinterface (enabled by default), or you can manually configure the following IPparameters:• IP address• Subnet mask• Gateway addressBy default, DHCP is enabled on the management interfaces and BOOTP is enabledon interface 1. If there is no DHCP offer received, the switch uses the defaultmanagement IP address (192.168.50.50/24). This address is overwritten when aDHCP/BOOTP address is received for that interface. If DHCP/BOOTP is enabledand there is no static address configured for DHCP/BOOTP, requests will continueto be sent. This feature does not change existing DHCP/BOOTP functionality.To configure an IP interface for remote management, complete the following steps.1. Log on to the switch using the serial console port or management port on theG7028 front panel.2. Enter IP interface mode.3. Configure an IP interface, subnet mask, and VLAN assignment, then enablethe interface.4. Configure the default gateway. Enable the gateway.After you configure the IP address for your switch and you have an existing networkconnection, you can use the Telnet program from an external management stationto access and control the switch. The management station and your switch must beon the same IP subnet.The switch CLI allows you to configure and control the switch over the networkusing the Telnet program. You can use the CLI to perform many basic networkmanagement functions. In addition, you can configure the switch for managementusing an SNMP-based network management system or a web-browser.For more information about using the CLI, see the Command Reference guide foryour specific switch and firmware version.RS G7028> enableRS G7028# configure terminalRS G7028 (config)# interface ip 1RS G7028 (config-ip-if)# ip address 10.10.10.2 (example IP address)RS G7028 (config-ip-if)# ip netmask 255.255.255.0RS G7028 (config-ip-if)# vlan 1RS G7028 (config-ip-if)# enableRS G7028 (config-ip-if)# exitRS G7028 (config)# ip gateway 1 address 10.10.10.1 (example gateway address)RS G7028 (config)# ip gateway 1 enable
