Powerconnect 51112 / Problem with IP-Adress

Dear all,

need your help - can not assign my 5112 a IP-Adress, and by DHCP the switch is not receiving a IP-Adress (DHCP-Server is working to many other clients well - only the switch has a problem. The same to assing a IP-adress to the switch - Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

Do I need to connect to a special RJ45 to receive via DHCP a IP-Adress?

I´m not a IT-proffesional and only have a limited know-how - and this is my first switch!

Console(config-if)#

Console(config-if)#ip default gateway 192.168.xyz .xyz
                      ^

Console(config-if)#

 

What should I do now to assign a IP to this switch?

Many thanks to your help !!!

Configuring the IP address looks correct except you mis-spelt the word address. 

Configuring the Default gateway you do not do in the VLAN section, exit out one to (Config)

There is also a spot on the Powerconnect 5XXX which disables DHCP broadcasts and is enabled by default, that is probably what is stopping you. Sorry, I do not know where it is located on the CLI though.

Dear bdearlove,

Invalid input detected at '^' marker. - if I will not receive this message after sending a command by CLI, I would be able to change some settings. What could be the Prob.?

As example show running-config will do, what I want, show ip is result Invalid input detected at '^' marker - whats wrong with my input (anyway if in config or not - in all areas of CLI I will get this crazy result...

kind regards

/Peter
