Figure 2-8. IP Configuration
Parameter | Default | Description |
Interface Type | Ethernet | Indicates IP over Ethernet. |
IP Address | 10.1.0.1 | IP address of the switch you are managing when |
|
| accessing it over the network. 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) must have an IP address. |
|
| Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, of 0 to 255, |
|
| and 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. |
Default | 0.0.0.0 | Gateway used to pass trap messages from the switch’s |
Gateway |
| agent to the management station. Note that the gateway |
|
| must be defined if the management station is located in a |
|
| different IP segment. |
IP State | USER- | Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via manual |
| CONFIG | configuration, or set by Boot Protocol (BootP). Options |
|
| include: |
|
| |
|
| default or user specified IP |
|
| configuration. |
|
| 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 can include the |
|
| IP address, default gateway, and |
|
| subnet mask.) |
