Setting a static IP

[dalbright1]

Hello, 

I have been tasked with assigning a static IP to a network enabled security device.

I know we have a vendor VLAN it will be using. I know the IP address, Gateway, and Subnet mask I need to give the device. I know the mac address of the device itself.

There is no interface on this device that I can access as it is a proprietary connection.

I will soon be figuring out which switch port this device is plugged into so I can give the port access to the correct VLAN.

I am not sure how to assign/reserve the IP address for the device though.  Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Login into the Box Using Console/Serial Cable 

Type Following COmmands 

1. Conf t

2. int Vlan x

( x is the vlan Number ) 

3. Ip address y.y.y.y z.z.z.z

( y.y.y.y --> Ip Address and z.z.z.z --> Subnet Mask ) 

4. Exit

You Vlan has an Ip Address, however you have to assign the port to vlan . 

Which Device is this, I mean type of router or switch ?

Thank you for the quick response!

It is a Cisco 6500 core switch and the endpoint is a 3560.

The VLAN should be all set up as multiple other devices use it from other vendors. I just need to make sure the port I plug it in has the correct VLAN assigned. However, once I make sure that port only has access to the correct VLAN, how do I make sure the device gets assigned the static IP/subnet/etc?

Then you asked in wrong community. Neither 6500 nor 3560 is product of Small Business product line.

This thread will be moved to more appropriate forum.
