Configure the Default IP Address

When you configure the default IP address, it is written to flash. This default IP address is used as the IP address of the default interface when the switch is restarted.

1. Connect to SEFOS.

   See Connect to SEFOS.

2. Configure the default IP address.
   1. Enter Global Configuration mode.

      SEFOS-1# configure terminal

   2. Configure the default IP address and subnet mask as 12.0.0.1 and 255.255.0.0, respectively.

      SEFOS-1(config)# default ip address 12.0.0.1 subnet-mask 255.255.0.0

   3. Exit Global Configuration mode.

      SEFOS-1(config)# end

3. View the default IP address and subnet mask.

   SEFOS-1# show nvram
    
   Default IP Address                          : 12.0.0.1
   Default Subnet Mask                         : 255.255.0.0
   ...

   Note - VLAN 1 (the default VLAN) will have this IP address and subnet mask after the switch is restarted. A DHCP client is not supported.
