D-Link DES-3326S manual Traps, Setting an IP Address

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

Setting an IP Address

The IP address for the switch must be set before it can be managed with the web-based manager. The switch IP address may be automatically set using BOOTP or DHCP protocols, in which case the actual address assigned to the switch must be known.

The IP address may alternatively be set using the Command Line Interface (CLI) over the console serial port as follows:

1.Starting at the command line prompt DES3326S4# − enter the commands config ipif System

ipaddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy. Where the x’s represent the IP address to be assigned to the IP interface named System and the y’s represent the corresponding subnet mask.

2.Alternatively, you can enter DES3326S4# − enter the commands config ipif system ipaddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/z. Where the x’s represent the IP address to be assigned to the IP interface named System and the z represents the corresponding number of subnets in CIDR notation.

Using this method, the switch can be assigned an IP address and subnet mask which can then be used to connect a management station to the switch’s web-based management agent.

Traps

Traps are messages that alert you of events that occur on the Switch. The events can be as serious as a reboot (someone
