  10vThunder(config)(NOLICENSE)#interface management
  vThunder(config-if:management)(NOLICENSE)#ip address 10.1.45.31 /24
  vThunder(config-if:management)(NOLICENSE)#ip default-gateway 10.1.45.28
  vThunder(config-if:management)(NOLICENSE)#exit
  vThunder(config)(NOLICENSE)#
  

  For DHCP, substitute the ip address line with this:

  vThunder(config-if:management)(NOLICENSE)#ip address dhcp
  

  You can check for what IP address was assigned using the show interface brief command:

  mbp-vthnd1(NOLICENSE)#sh int br
  Port                Link  Dupl  Speed  Trunk Vlan      MAC             IP Address          IPs  Name
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  mgmt                Up    Full  1000   N/A   N/A       000c.292e.68d5  172.16.109.128/24     1
  1                   Disb  None  None   None  1         000c.292e.68df  0.0.0.0/0             0
  2                   Disb  None  None   None  1         000c.292e.68e9  0.0.0.0/0             0
  mbp-vthnd1(NOLICENSE)#
  

  Change Hostname:

  vThunder(config)#hostname pm-vthnd1
  pm-vthnd1(config)#exit
  pm-vthnd1#wr mem
  Building configuration...
  Write configuration to default primary startup-config
  [OK]
  pm-vthnd1#
  

  Set DNS for MGMT port:

  vThunder(config)(NOLICENSE)#ip dns primary 44.147.45.28
  

  Don't forget to set a route (ip route {subnet} /24 {gateway}) to get to the network local DNS is on!

  
  

  It would also be a good idea to set the timezone and clock:

  mbp-vthnd1(config)(NOLICENSE)#timezone America/Chicago
  mbp-vthnd1(config)(NOLICENSE)#sh clock
  *19:21:30 CDT Wed May 1 2019
  

  You can also set an NTP service:

  mbp-vthnd1(config)(NOLICENSE)#ntp server time.nist.gov
  mbp-vthnd1(config-ntpsvr:time.nist.gov)(NOLICENSE)#prefer
  mbp-vthnd1(config-ntpsvr:time.nist.gov)(NOLICENSE)#end
  mbp-vthnd1(NOLICENSE)#sh clock
  .19:24:03 CDT Wed May 1 2019
