Hi,

i am new to cisco switches and i need to change an ip address to a VLAN. i need an explanation in how to do please

Thanks in advance
 
You'll need to give us a bit more information on what kind of switch you have. The best thing would be to post a 'show run'
 
You'd change a vlan IP with the following commands:

login
switch>enable
switch#configure terminal
switch(config)#interface vlanXXX (where XXX = vlan number)
switch(config-if)#ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx mmm.mmm.mmm.mmm (xxx = ip, mmm = subnet mask)

You need to understand that changing this will affect all clients/switches that are members of that vlan, and potentially your entire network.

You'll also need to "write memory" or "copy running startup" to save the config once you verify it is working.
 
thanks i will try, will post if i have problems
