2950 and 3550 Switches
Cisco recommends that you use VLAN 1 for management of the switch device and then create
other VLANs for users. By default, all interfaces are in VLAN 1, supporting the plug-and-play
operation of switches. To set the IP configuration, you should use the command ip address
in interface mode, as shown here:
Terry_2950#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Terry_2950 (config)#int vlan 1
Terry_2950 (config-if)#ip address 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0
Terry_2950(config-if)#no shut
Terry_2950 (config-if)#^Z
Terry_2950#
