speed 9600
flow off

(find internal ip)
show ip int brief

enable
configure terminal
interface vlan 1
ip address <IP_ADDRESS> <SUBNET_MASK>
no shutdown
exit

ip default-gateway <DEFAULT_GATEWAY_IP>
ip domain-name <DOMAIN_NAME>
ip name-server <DNS_SERVER_IP>
end

write memory

or

copy running-config startup-config

Both commands achieve the same result.

Now your Cisco Catalyst 2960 switch should have a configured management IP address, and you should be able to access it remotely using Telnet or SSH or through the web-based interface if it's available on your specific switch model.
