8 DSR2035/8035 Switch Installer/User Guide
Setting up your network
The DSR2035/8035 switching system uses IP addresses to uniquely identify the switch and the
target devices. The DSR2035/8035 switch supports both Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) and static IP addressing. Avocent recommends that IP addresses be reserved for each
switch and that they remain static while the DSR2035/8035 switches are connected to the network.
For additional information on setting up the DSR2035/8035 switch using the DSView Server
software, and for information on how the DSR2035/8035 switch uses TCP/IP, see the DSView
Installer/User Guide.
