2.5 DHCP and IP Configuration

Each switch must be designated an IP address before it can be managed from web browser. Basically, the switches provide two methods for IP configuration:

1.DHCP mode

The switch requests a dynamic IP address from the first discovered DHCP server in the network when boot up. In general, the assigned IP can be monitored in the client list on the DHCP server. The model name and MAC address of the switch is referred as the DHCP client ID. If no DHCP server is discovered after a retry period for about 40 seconds, the pre-configured static IP is used automatically.

2.Static IP mode

One pre-configured IP address is used when DHCP mode is disabled or when DHCP mode is enabled and no DHCP server is available. The static IP can be configured through management interface. Each switch comes with one identical factory default IP upon device reception.

It is important to record the MAC address and location where it is in- stalled for each switch. It would help in tracing the IP and device map- ping.

2.6 Push Button IP SW

One push button IP SW located on rear panel is used to disable DHCP mode and restore static IP back to factory default value. It is useful when you do not recall your static IP setting and DHCP solution is not available.

To make the function work, push the SW and keep for at least 5 seconds when the switch is powered on to be boot up.
