Configuring IP Addresses

An IP address is a unique address that identifies a device on the internet or a local network. Each device must be configured with a unique IP Address since this allows to user to access the device via CLI or Web GUI.

Here is a guide on configuring AMG510 & AMG570 switches with IP Addresses:

Step 1: On the left-hand side of the web GUI, navigate to Configuration > System > IP

Step 2: Change the default IP (192.168.1.101) to your desired IP as shown in the image below:

Step 3: Once you have entered your desired IP address, press Save

Step 4:

To verify your configuration, re-login to the switch using the updated IP Address

Step 5:

Save your configuration by navigating to the ‘Maintenance’ tab on the left hand side of the GUI and select Configuration > Save startup-config

Step 1:

Log in to the switch via SSH or Console.

Step 2: Enter configuration mode by entering the command "configure terminal"

configure terminal

Step 3: Since by default the management is under VLAN 1, type the command "interface vlan 1" to configure VLAN 1 interface

interface vlan 1

Step 4: Use the following command to change the IP:

“ip address DESIRED_IP DESIRED_SUBNET_MASK” for example

ip address 192.168.1.101 255.255.255.0

where 192.168.1.101 is the DESIRED_IP and 255.255.255.0 is the DESIRED_SUBNET_MASK.

Note: If you are using SSH, once the above command has been executed, you may have to re-login to the switch with the newly configured IP Address, if so, please skip to Step 6.

Step 5: Exit both the VLAN interface config and configuration mode by typing “exit” twice:

exit
exit

Step 6: To verify the IP configuration you have made, enter the command "show interface vlan 1"

show interface vlan 1

Step 7: Save your configuration by entering the command "copy running-config startup-config"

copy running-config startup-config

Here’s an example of a CLI IP address configuration:
