What is the default ip address for powerconnect 5212

You must assign an IP address to the switch to gain management access over the network. You may also need to a establish a default gateway between the switch and management stations that exist on another network segment. You can statically configure a specific IP address or direct the switch to obtain an address from a Boot Protocol (BOOTP) or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server when it is powered on. Valid IP addresses consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything outside this format is not accepted by the CLI program. NOTICE: By default, the IP address is assigned to VLAN 1 through DHCP. If you select the bootp or dhcp option, IP is enabled but does not function until a BOOTP or DHCP reply has been received. Requests are broadcast periodically by the switch in an effort to learn its IP address. (BOOTP and DHCP values can include the IP address, default gateway, and subnet mask).
To display assigned IP settings using the CLI:

1. From the Privileged Exec or Normal Exec level mode, type show ip interface and press <Enter>.
   
   

The assigned IP address and subnet mask displays.

1. From the Privileged Exec mode, type show ip redirects to display the assigned gateway IP address. Press <Enter>.
   
   

Console#show ip interface

IP address and netmask: 10.1.0.1 255.255.252.0 on VLAN 1,

and address mode: User specified.

Console# show ip redirects

ip default gateway 10.1.0.254

Before you can assign a static IP address to the switch, you must obtain the following information from your network administrator:

• IP address for the switch
  
  
• Default gateway for the network
  
  
• Network mask for the network
  
  

1. From the Privileged Exec level global configuration mode prompt, type interface vlan 1 to access the interface-configuration mode. Press <Enter>.
   
   
2. Type ip address ip-address netmask, where ip-address is the switch IP address and netmask is the network mask for the network.
   
   
3. Type exit to return to the global configuration mode prompt. Press <Enter>.
   
   
4. To set the IP address of the default gateway for the network to which the switch belongs, type ip default-gateway gateway, where gateway is the IP address of the default gateway. Press <Enter>.
   
   
5. To save your configuration changes, type copy running-config startup-config and then press <Enter>.
   
   

Console(config)# interface vlan 1

Console(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.5 255.255.255.0

Console(config-if)# exit

Console(config)# ip default-gateway 192.168.1.254

Console(config)#
To configure the switch for DHCP or BOOTP:

1. From the Privileged Exec level global configuration mode prompt, type interface vlan 1 to access the interface-configuration mode. Press <Enter>.
   
   
2. At the next prompt, use one of the following commands:
   
   
   • To obtain IP settings through DHCP, type ip address dhcp
     
     
   • To obtain IP setting through BOOTP, type ip address bootp
     
     
3. Press <Enter>.
   
   
4. To save your configuration changes, type copy running-config startup-config, and then press <Enter>.
