Configuring IP

Information

Connecting to a Front Panel Port

You can manually configure the Switch IP information in the following ways:

■Connecting to a front panel port — Connect a workstation using an Ethernet cable to a front panel port of the Switch. You can then manually enter IP information using the web interface or the command line interface (CLI).

■Connecting to the console port — Connect a workstation using a console cable to the console port of the Switch. You can then manually enter IP information using the command line interface (CLI).

To set up your Switch manually you can make a connection to a front panel port. You must do this whilst the Switch is offline, that is, before you connect the Switch to a network.

The procedure described in this section assumes the unit has been powered up in standalone mode and has the default IP address of 169.254.100.100.

Pre-requisites

■A workstation running Windows 95/98/2000 or Windows NT.

■A Network Interface Card (NIC).

■A Category 5 twisted pair Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors.

■A suitable Web browser — refer to “Choosing a Browser”on page 48.

■You need to have the following so that you can manually set up the Switch with IP information:

■IP address

■subnet mask

■default gateway
