Chapter 3 Configuring the Switch IP Address and Default Gateway Using DHCP or RARP to Obtain an IP Address Configuration To disable SLIP on the console port, perform this task: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Task Access the switch from a remote host with Telnet. Enter privileged mode on the switch. Disable SLIP for the console port. Command telnet {host_name | ip_addr} enable slip detach This example shows how to configure SLIP on the console port and verify the configuration: sparc20% telnet 172.20.52.38 Trying 172.20.52.38 ...

To use DHCP or RARP to obtain an IP address for the switch, perform this task: Step 1 Step 2 Task Command Make sure that there is a DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP server on the - network. Obtain the last address in the MAC address range for module 1 (the supervisor engine). This address is displayed under the MAC-Address(es) heading.
