IP Configuration

IP Configuration

The switch console screen enables you to configure the initial values for:

■IP address, subnet mask, and (optionally) the gateway address for the switch so that it can be managed in an IP network from the web browser interface, SNMP-based network management station, or by the switch console through a Telnet session.

■The time server information (used if you want the switch to get its time information from another device operating as a Timep server)

The initial IP configuration process is described in chapter 2, “Configuring an IP Address on the Switch”.

The web browser interface screen enables you to modify the initial IP configuration if needed.

If you change the IP address through the web browser interface, the browser will lose connection to the switch. You can reconnect by entering the new IP address as the URL.

By default, the switch is configured to receive IP addressing from a DHCP/ Bootp server that you have configured correctly with information for your switch. Refer to “DHCP/Bootp Operation” on page 6-10 for information on setting up automatic configuration from a server.

Through the web browser interface or switch console, you can manually enter a different address, or you can disable the IP operation.

■The IP addressing used in the switch should be compatible with your network. The IP address must be unique; the subnet mask must be the same for all devices on the same IP network.

■If you plan to connect to other networks that use globally administered IP addressing, refer to “Globally Assigned IP Network Addresses” on page 6-14.

For information on how IP addressing affects switch performance, refer to “How IP Addressing Affects Switch Operation” on page 6-9.
