server. If this option is set, the Switch will first look for a BOOTP server to provide it with this

 

information before using the default or previously entered settings.

 

 

DHCP

The Switch will send out a DHCP broadcast request when it is powered up. The DHCP protocol

 

allows IP addresses, network masks, and default gateways to be assigned by a DHCP server. If this

 

option is set, the Switch will first look for a DHCP server to provide it with this information before

 

using the default or previously entered settings.

 

 

Manual

Allows the entry of an IP address, Subnet Mask, and a Default Gateway for the Switch. These fields

 

should be of the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a number (represented in decimal form)

 

between 0 and 255. This address should be a unique address on the network assigned for use by the

 

network administrator.

 

 

Subnet Mask

A Bitmask that determines the extent of the subnet that the Switch is on. Should be of the form

 

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a number (represented in decimal) between 0 and 255. The value

 

should be 255.0.0.0 for a Class A network, 255.255.0.0 for a Class B network, and 255.255.255.0 for

 

a Class C network, but custom subnet masks are allowed.

 

 

Default

IP address that determines where packets with a destination address outside the current subnet

Gateway

should be sent. This is usually the address of a router or a host acting as an IP gateway. If your

 

network is not part of an intranet, or you do not want the Switch to be accessible outside your local

 

network, you can leave this field unchanged.

 

 

VLAN Name

This allows the entry of a VLAN Name from which a management station will be allowed to manage

 

the Switch using TCP/IP (in-band via web manager or Telnet). Management stations that are on

 

VLANs other than the one entered here will not be able to manage the Switch in-band unless their IP

 

addresses are entered in the Security IP Management menu. If VLANs have not yet been configured

 

for the Switch, the default VLAN contains all of the Switch's ports. There are no entries in the

 

Security IP Management table, by default, so any management station that can connect to the

 

Switch can access the Switch until a management VLAN is specified or Management Station IP

 

Addresses are assigned.

 

 

Auto Config

When autoconfig is enabled, the Switch is instructed to get a configuration file via TFTP, and it

State

becomes a DHCP client automatically. The configuration file will be loaded upon booting up. In order

 

to use Auto Config, the DHCP server must be set up to deliver the TFTP server IP address and

 

configuration file name information in the DHCP reply packet. The TFTP server must be running and

 

have the requested configuration file stored in its base directory when the request is received from

 

the Switch. Consult the DHCP server and/or TFTP server software instructions for information on

 

loading a configuration file for use by a client. (Also see the section titled Error! Reference source

 

not found. for instructions on uploading a configuration to a TFTP server.

 

If the Switch is unable to complete the autoconfiguration process the previously saved configuration

 

file present in Switch will be loaded.

 

 

Description

Enter a description of up to 128 alphanumeric characters to identify this IP interface. Only one IP

 

interface can be set for this switch.
