IP Address

Figure 7- 1. Switch IP Settings window

This window is used to determine whether the Switch should get its IP Address settings from the user (Manual), a BOOTP server, or a DHCP server. If you are not using either BOOTP or DHCP, enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway of the Switch. If you enable BOOTP, you do not need to configure any IP parameters because a BOOTP server automatically assigns IP configuration parameters to the Switch. If you enable DHCP, a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol request will be sent when the Switch is powered up. Once you have selected a setting under Get IP From, click Apply to activate the new settings.

The information is described as follows:

Parameter	Description
Get IP From	There are three choices for how the Switch receives its IP Address settings: Manual,
	BOOTP, and DHCP.
IP Address	The host address for the device on the TCP/IP network.
Subnet Mask	The address mask that controls subnetting on your TCP/IP network.
Default Gateway	The IP address of the device—usually a router—that handles connections to other
	subnets and/or other TCP/IP networks.
VID	The VLAN ID number.
