IP Address Configuration Utility

Bay Networks provides a utility to perform the initial configuration of a Switch.

Requirements

To assign the Switch a Management IP Address with the Bay Networks IP Address Configuration Utility you must have the following:

∙A PC running Windows 95 or Windows NT with a functioning TCP/IP stack.

∙The PC must be running on the same subnet as the Switch that is to be configured, and it must have an operational network connection.

If your environment does not match these requirements, then you must use the serial interface configuration.

To test the function of your TCP/IP stack, send a PING command to any host.

Running the IP Configuration Utility

The program "BayNetIP.exe" is on a diskette labeled "IP Address Configuration Utility" that accompanies the Switch. You can copy the utility to your hard disk and execute it from there, or you can load it from the diskette drive. The "BayNetIP.exe" program launches the IP Address Configuration Utility, which allows you to assign a Management IP Address and subnet mask to the Switch. To run "BayNetIP.exe," follow these steps:

1.Insert the diskette into the A: drive and select Start→Run:

a:\BayNetIP.exe

or, open the "My Computer" icon on the desktop and open the "3Ú Floppy (A:)" drive, then double-click on the icon:
