QS.4.2 Assigning a static IP Address to a personnel computer

In order to configure the switch using the web-based interface the computer must be assigned an IP address and subnet mask. If you are already familiar with this procedure you may skip this step.

ZObtain an IP address, subnet mask, and possibly a gateway address, from the LAN administrator.

There are rules associated with the assignment of these numbers, which go well beyond this introduction. As mentioned at the beginning of this guide, for our test network we will be using a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 for all computers and relays on the network. The IP address of each device on the network must be unique. Given that in this example the switch was assigned an IP address, 3.94.247.50, we are left with 253 unique addresses.
