Chapter 2: System Configuration
Configuration of IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway Address
This procedure explains how to change the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address of the switch. Before performing the procedure, note the following:
A gateway address is only required if you want to remotely manage the device from a management station that is separated from the switch by a router.
To configure the switch to automatically obtain its IP configuration from a DHCP server on your network, go to “DHCP Client Configuration” on page 45.
To change the switch’s IP configuration, perform the following procedure:
1.From the main menu on the left side of the page, click the System folder.
The System folder expands.
2.From the System folder, select IP Setup. The IP Setup Page is displayed. See Figure 6.
Figure 6. IP Setup Page
3.Change the IP configuration parameters by observing or entering new information in the following fields:
System MAC Address - This parameter displays the MAC address of the switch. You cannot change this parameter.
System IP Address - Displays the current IP address of the switch. To change the IP address, enter a new IP address. When DHCP is enabled, you cannot change this parameter.
System Subnet Mask - Displays the current subnet mask of the switch. To change the subnet mask, enter a new subnet mask. When DHCP is enabled, you cannot change this parameter.
