default for the class of the IP address. If a subnet mask is specified, it will be used as a net mask.

Default: 0.0.0.0

IP State

Display the following choices by highlighting IP State and pressing ENTER:

IP Disabled

BootP When Needed

BootP Always

Then highlight one of these choices and press ENTER. The meaning of these values are as described in the following:

IP Disabled—When a VLAN is IP-disabled, it will not process any IP or ARP packets it receives. This means that no Ping, Telnet, or ARP Packets will be responded to when received. SNMP management is only possible over MAC.

BootP When Needed—In this state, the switch will send out BootP requests at regular intervals on all ports in the VLAN until the VLAN is assigned an IP address different from 0.0.0.0 or 192.0.2.1.

The assignment can come from NVRAM during a boot, from the console management or via BootP.

BootP Always—In this state, the switch will at boot time clear the IP address assigned to this VLAN and send out BootP requests at regular intervals until it receives a BootP answer. Then normal IP communication will resume.

Note: For the default BRF the default IP State value is BootP when Needed. For all the other VLANs the default is IP Disabled

Send PING

Prompts you to enter an IP address to which the switch will attempt ping.

Note! The configuration of the IP-address, default gateway etc. takes effect when you close the IP Configuration screen. This means that if any parameter has been changed you have to return to the Configuration menu and enter the IP Configuration screen before attempting to ping. Otherwise the old values will be used.
