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
