Page 6-6
2) IP Address
Enter an IP address for the Ethernet management port in dotted decimal or hexadecimal nota-
tion (the default is 192.168.11.1). For example, to change the Ethernet management port’s IP
address to 198.206.184.170, enter
2=198.206.184.170
at the prompt.
♦ Note ♦
This IP address must not be on the same subnet as any
other IP router on the switch.
3) Subnet Mask
Enter an IP subnet mask in dotted decimal or hexadecimal notation (the default is
255.255.255.0). If no mask is provided, the switch will try to determine the mask using Inter-
net Control Message Protocol (ICMP) requests. For example, to change the subnet mask to
255.255.255.254, enter
3=255.255.255.254
at the prompt.
4) Bcast Address
The default broadcast address is automatically derived from the default VLAN IP address class
(the default is 192.255.255.255). You can enter a new address in dotted decimal or hexadeci-
mal notation. For example, to change the broadcast address to 198.206.184.255, enter
4=198.206.184.255
at the prompt.
5) Gateway Address
You can enter an IP address for the first hop router to a remote host (if the host is on a differ-
ent IP net) in dotted decimal or hexadecimal notation. The default is 192.168.1.1. For exam-
ple, to change this address to 198.206.184.170, enter
5=198.206.184.170
at the prompt.
6) Remote Host Address
You can enter an IP address for a a remote host (if the host is on a different IP net) in dotted
decimal or hexadecimal notation. The default is 192.168.1.1. For example, to change this
address to 198.206.184.170, enter
