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

 

The gateway that the switch’s agent uses to pass data to the

Gateway

 

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.)
