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

 

(in-band, or over the network). Management

 

stations that are on VLANs other than the one

 

entered in the VLAN Name field will not be

 

able to manage the switch in-band unless their

 

IP addresses are entered in the Management

 

Station IP Addresses field. The default VLAN

 

is named default and contains all of the
