D-Link DES-3250TG Standalone Layer 2 Switch
| 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. The fields which require entries |
| under this option are as follows: |
IP Address | Determines the IP address used by the switch |
| for receiving SNMP and Telnet |
| communications. These fields should be of the |
| form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a |
| number (represented in decimal) between 0 and |
| 255. This address should be a unique address |
| on a network assigned to you by the central |
| Internet authorities. |
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 Gateway | IP address that determines where packets with a |
| destination address outside the current subnet |
| 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 (a computer) will |
| be allowed to manage the switch using TCP/IP |
| |
| stations that are on VLANs other than the one |
| entered in the VLAN Name field will not be |
| able to manage the switch |
| IP addresses are entered in the Management |
| Station IP Addresses field. The default VLAN |
| is named default and contains all of the |
