Parameter Default Description
Interface Type Ethernet Indicates IP over Ethernet.
IP Address 192.168.10.1 IP address of the switch you are managing when accessing it over
the network. The switch supports SNMP over UDP/IP transport
protocol. In this environment, all systems on the Internet, such as
network interconnection devices and any PC accessing the switch
must have an IP address.
Valid IP addresses consist of four decimal numbers, of 0 to 255,
separated by periods. Anything outside of this format will not be
accepted by the configuration program.
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 Subnet mask of the switch. This mask identifies the host address
bits used for routing to specific subnets.
Default
Gateway
The gateway that the switch’s agent uses to pass data to the
management station. Note that the gateway must be defined if the
management station is located in a different IP segment.
IP State USER-CONFIG Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via manual
configuration, or set by Boot Protocol (BootP). Options include:
USER-CONFIG -IP functionality is enabled based on the default or
user specified IP configuration.
BOOTP-GET-IP - IP is enabled but will not function until a BootP
reply has been received. BootP requests will be broadcast 10
times, once every second, in an effort to learn its IP address. If no
response is received, the switch will use the default IP setting in
NVRAM. (BootP values can include the IP address, default
gateway, and subnet mask.)
