IP Configuration

Use the IP Configuration screen to set the bootup option, configure the Ethernet IP

address for the switch, or set the number or concurrent Telnet sessions allowed. The

screen shown below is described in the following table.

Parameter Default Description
IP State USER-CONFIG Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via manual
configuration, or set by Boot Protocol (BootP). Options
include:
BOOTP Get IP - IP is enabled but will not function until
a BootP reply has been received. BootP requests will be
periodically broadcast by the switch in an effort to learn
its IP address. (BootP values include the IP address,
default gateway, and subnet mask.)
USER-CONFIG - IP functionality is enabled based on
the default or user specified IP Configuration. (This is
the default setting.)
IP Address 192.168.10.1 IP address of the switch you are managing. 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 are assigned 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.
Gateway IP Address 0.0.0.0 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.
MAC Address Physical address of the switch.
Maximum Number of
Telnet sessions
4 Sets the number of concurrent Telnet sessions allowed
to access the switch.
