About Lesson

Configure IP Addressing

Configure a host device with an IP address.

Manual IP Address Configuration for End Devices

End devices on the network need an IP address in order to communicate with other devices on the network. IPv4 address information can be entered into end devices manually, or automatically using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

  • To manually configure an IPv4 address on a Windows PC, open the Control Panel > Network Sharing Center > Change adapter settings and choose the adapter. Next right-click and select Properties to display the Local Area Connection Properties.
  • Next, click Properties to open the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties window. Then configure the IPv4 address and subnet mask information, and default gateway.

Automatic IP Address Configuration for End Devices

DHCP enables automatic IPv4 address configuration for every end device that is DHCP-enabled. End devices are typically by default using DHCP for automatic IPv4 address configuration.

  • To configure DHCP on a Windows PC, open the Control Panel > Network Sharing Center > Change adapter settings and choose the adapter. Next right-click and select Properties to display the Local Area Connection Properties.
  • Next, click Properties to open the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties window, then select Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically.

Switch Virtual Interface Configuration

To access the switch remotely, an IP address and a subnet mask must be configured on the SVI. To configure an SVI on a switch:

  • Enter the interface vlan 1 command in global configuration mode.
  • Next assign an IPv4 address using the ip address ip-address subnet-mask command.
  • Finally, enable the virtual interface using the no shutdown command.
