From the User EXEC prompt [(ALU 1850TSS-5-xx) >, enter enable to enter the user privilege mode.
No password is required at this time, just press Enter.
Result:
The user privilege prompt [(ALU 1850TSS-5-xx) #] displays.

2 |
Enter show network command to obtain information about the VLNC4x/VLNC6x default network configuration settings.
|
3 |
You need to configure the BootP or DHCP server with information about the switch obtained through the serial port connection using the show network command.
Configure the DHCP/BootP server with the following information:
-
Unique IP address for the switch.
-
Subnet mask for the LAN.
-
Gateway IP address of the default router, if the switch is a node outside the IP range of the LAN.
-
MAC address of the VLNC4x/VLNC6x.
|
4 |
Use the network protocol {none | bootp | dhcp} command to specify the network configuration protocol to be used.
Example:
network protocol dhcp.
|
5 |
Connect the VLNC4x/VLNC6x to the Ethernet network.
After the VLNC4x/VLNC6xis connected to the network, it periodically sends requests to a BootP/DHCP server until a response is received.
Result:
The VLNC4x/VLNC6x is configured with the information from the DHCP/BootP server.
|
6 |
After configuration, use the show network command to view network parameters.
If the IP address is not assigned, use the show logging buffered command to find out the reason for DHCP failing to install the IP address. Check if the serviceport IP address is already assigned (show serviceport) and on the same subnet as the DHCP offered IP address. You will have to reprovision one of the IP addresses.
