Vixel Model 335 Installation & Configuration Guide	CHAPTER 3 Management

Note: The default setting for the DHCP option is "disabled".

Changing the Switch’s IP Parameters

To view the current switch configuration, type co at the prompt. The Configuration Menu appears:

CONFIGURATION MENU
		ACTIVE VALUE	SAVED VALUE	NEW VALUE
1.	IP Address	172.16.52.2	172.16.52.2
2.	Netmask	255.255.240.0	255.255.240.0
3.	Default Gateway	172.16.48.1	172.16.48.1
4.	DHCP	Disabled
5.	Save changes and reset switch
6.	Save changes and exit menu
7.	Discard changes and exit menu

Before the switch can establish communication with your network, its IP address needs to be changed from its default value.

To change the switch’s IP parameters:

1.Type the option number (1-4) of the desired setting.

2.Enter a new value for that setting.

3.Type 5 to save changes and reset the switch. (The switch must be reset for the change to take affect.)

Enabling or Disabling DHCP Requests

When DHCP is enabled, the switch sends a DHCP request for its correct IP parameters (address, subnet mask, and default gateway) during power on. If a DHCP server responds, the switch automatically changes its IP settings.

If you want to enable DHCP, ensure that there is a DHCP server connected to the same subnet as the switch. (For instructions on setting the switch’s IP parameters through a DHCP server, see the server documentation.)

If DHCP is enabled and a DHCP server is not found, the DHCP request will fail and the switch’s IP parameters will be incorrect. You will then have to connect through the serial port using the CLI, disable the DHCP mode, and manually configure the switch parameters.

To enable automatic DHCP requests from the switch:

1. Type co, then type 4.

The DHCP status is toggled to either enable or disable and the current setting is displayed.

2.Type 5 to save changes and reset the switch. (The switch must be reset for the change to take affect.)

Configuring Switch Information

To change the switch name, location, or contact name, type si at the prompt. The System Information Menu appears:

SYSTEM INFORMATION MENU
1.	Switch Name:	demo
2.	Location:	lab
3.	Contact Name:	John Smith
4.	Exit menu

To change the information:

1.Type the option number (1-3) of the desired setting.

2.Enter a new value for that setting.

3.Type 4 to exit the menu.
