IP Configuration
Use the IP Configuration screen to set the bootup option, configure the Ethernet IP address for the switch, or set the number or concurrent Telnet sessions allowed. The screen shown below is described in the following table.
Figure 3-4. IP Configuration
Parameter | Default | Description |
IP State | Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via | |
|
| manual configuration, or set by Boot Protocol |
|
| (BootP). Options include: |
|
| BootP Get IP - IP is enabled but will not function |
|
| until a BootP reply has been received. BootP |
|
| requests will be periodically broadcast by the |
|
| switch in an effort to learn its IP address. (BootP |
|
| values include the IP address, default gateway, |
|
| and subnet mask.) |
|
| |
|
| based on the default or user specified IP |
|
| Configuration. |
IP Address | 10.1.0.1 | IP address of the switch you are managing. The |
|
| switch supports SNMP over UDP/IP transport |
|
| protocol. In this environment, all systems on the |
|
| Internet, such as network interconnection devices |
|
| and any PC accessing the switch (or running |
|
| management software) are assigned an IP |
|
| address. Valid IP addresses consist of four |
|
| numbers, of 0 to 255, separated by periods. |
|
| Anything outside of this format will not be |
|
| accepted by the configuration program. |
Subnet Mask | 255.255.0.0 | Subnet mask of the switch. This mask identifies |
|
| the host address bits used for routing to specific |
|
| subnets. |
Gateway IP |
| Gateway used to pass trap messages from the |
|
| switch to the management station. Note that the |
|
| gateway must be defined if the management |
|
| station is located in a different IP segment. |
MAC Address |
| Physical address of the switch. |
Number of Telnet | 4 | Sets the number of concurrent Telnet sessions |
sessions |
| allowed to access the switch. |
