Configuring the Switch From the Console

Configurable Features

Internet (IP) Service

For managing the Switch 208/224 from an SNMP network management station over an IP network, or for using the switch console through a Telnet session, use the IP Service screen to configure:

■IP address, subnet mask, and (optionally) the gateway address for the switch so that it can be managed in an IP network

■The time server information (used if you want the switch to get its time information from another device operating as a Timep server)

You can manually configure an IP address, subnet mask, and a Gateway IP address by setting the IP Config parameter to Manual. Or, you can use Bootp to configure IP for the switch from a Bootp server. In this case you must also configure your Bootp server accordingly. If you plan to use Bootp, refer to “Bootp Operation” in chapter 6, “Using SNMP to Monitor and Manage the Switch”. Otherwise, set the IP Config parameter to Manual and then manually enter the IP address and subnet mask you want for the Switch 208/ 224.

The default setting for Time Protocol Enabled is No. Setting it to Yes as shown here, then pressing [v] or [Tab] causes the Timep Server Address and Timep Poll Interval parameters to appear. For descriptions of these parameters, select the Help action for this screen.
