How do you assign IP to cisco switch?

Answer 1

You can't assign an ip to a switch but you can add one to the interfaces.........

like:

for the management vlan (or any other vlan)

Switch(config)#int vlan 1

Switch(config-if)#ip address {your ip address} {mask}

Switch(config-if)#no shutdown

any other port

Switch(config)#int <fa, G, S> <interface number i.e. 0/0>

Switch(config-if)#ip address {your ip address} {mask}

Switch(config-if)#no shutdown

and for a default gateway

Switch#conf t

Switch(config)#ip default-gateway {ip address}
