DES-3326 Layer 3 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide

The Get IP From: <Manual> options are:

 

 

Parameter

 

Description

 

 

 

 

BOOTP

The switch will send out a BOOTP broadcast request when it is

 

 

powered up. The BOOTP protocol allows IP addresses, network

 

 

masks, and default gateways to be assigned by a central BOOTP

 

 

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. The

 

 

fields which require entries under this option are as follows:

 

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 interface 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.

 

 

 

 

 

Management VID

This allows the entry of a VLAN ID (VID) 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 Management VID field will not be able to manage the switch in-band unless their IP addresses are entered in the Management Station IP Addresses field. Any VID that has been configured on the switch can be entered in this field.
