DGS-3700-12/DGS-3700-12G Series Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet Switch User Manual

 

 

 

 

 

 

Parameter

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

Static

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

IP Interface

This field displays the IP Interface that is currently being used on the Switch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Management

This allows the entry of a VLAN Name from which a management station will be allowed to

 

 

VLAN Name

manage the Switch using TCP/IP (in-band via web manager or Telnet). Management stations that

 

 

 

are on VLANs other than the one entered here will not be able to manage the Switch in-band

 

 

 

unless their IP addresses are entered in the Security IP Management window. If VLANs have

 

 

 

not yet been configured for the Switch, the default VLAN contains all of the Switch's ports. There

 

 

 

are no entries in the Security IP Management table, by default, so any management station that

 

 

 

can connect to the Switch can access the Switch until a management VLAN is specified or

 

 

 

Management Station IP Addresses are assigned.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Interface Admin

This field enables or disables the Interface Admin State. When the state is enabled, the IPv4

 

 

State

processing will be started when the IPv4 address is configured on the IPIF. The IPv6 processing

 

 

 

will be started when the IPv6 address is explicitly configured on the IPIF.

 

 

 

 

 

 

IPv4 Address

The address should specify a host address and length of the network prefix. There can be

 

 

 

multiple IPv4 addresses defined on an interface. Thus, as a new address is defined, it is added on

 

 

 

this IP Interface.

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.
