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

The Switch Information window shows which (if any) external modules are installed, and the switch’s MAC Address (assigned by the factory and unchangeable). In addition, the Boot PROM and Firmware Version numbers are shown. This information is helpful to keep track of PROM and Firmware updates and to obtain the switch’s MAC address for entry into another network device’s address table – if necessary.

You can also enter the name of the System, its location, and the name and telephone number of the System Administrator. It is recommended that the person responsible for the maintenance of the network system that this Layer 3 switch is installed on be listed here.

Configuring the Switch’s IP Address

The Switch needs to have an IP address assigned to it so that an In-Band network management system (for example, the Web Manager or Telnet) client can find it on the network. The Basic Switch Setup window allows you to change the settings for the Ethernet interface used for in-band communication.

The fields listed under the Current IP Settings heading are those that are currently being used by the switch. Those fields listed under the New Switch IP Setting heading are those that will be used after clicking on the Apply button.

To set the switch’s IP address:

Click the Basic Switch Setup link from the Main Menu to open the following dialog box.
