Nortel Networks 1500 manual Assigning a System Identity

Assigning a System Identity

2.Assign a Management IP Address and Subnet Mask to the Switch; the Default Gateway address is optional and you can add it later (see Startup Configuration Requirements on page 4-2 for descriptions of the required fields).

If you have more than one Switch, click Search to automatically add the additional Switch serial numbers. To verify the switches that have been discovered, you can refer to the serial number on the bar code on the bottom of the Switch. The serial number on the back of the Switch is that of the motherboard manufacturer.

3.Click Apply to configure the Management IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway on the Switch. The IP Address Configuration Utility screen disappears.

When the Switch updates its configuration with the Management IP Address, Subnet Mask, and optional Default Gateway, your default Web browser automatically opens to the Contivity Extranet Switch Welcome screen.

4.Click Close to shut down the IP Address Configuration Utility.

Note: Before moving the Switch from one network to another, change the Management IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway. Otherwise, you need to follow the Serial Interface Configuration procedure to access your Switch because it will not be accessible from a Web browser with an invalid address.
