IP configuration is one of the most important configurations in the switch. Without the

proper setting, network manager will not be able to manage or view the device. The switch

supports both manual IP address setting and automatic IP address setting via DHCP server.

When IP address is changed, you must reboot the switch to have the setting taken effect

and use the new IP to browse for web management and CLI management.

Function name:

IP Configuration

Function description:

Set IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and DNS for the switch.

Parameter description:

DHCP Setting: DHCP is the abbreviation of Dynamic Host Configuration

Protocol. Here DHCP means a switch to turn ON or OFF the

function.

The switch supports DHCP client used to get an IP address

automatically if you set this function “Enable”. When

enabled, the switch will issue the request to the DHCP server

resided in the network to get an IP address. If DHCP server

is down or does not exist, the switch will issue the request

and show IP address is under requesting, until the DHCP

server is up. Before getting an IP address from DHCP server,

the device will not continue booting procedures. If set this

field “Disable”, you’ll have to input IP address manually.

For more details about IP address and DHCP, please see the

Section 2-1-5 “IP Address Assignment” in this manual.
