Configuring IP Address from the Switch Console
You can use the console to manually configure an IP address, subnet mask, and a gateway IP address (if needed). Or, you can use DHCP/Bootp to configure IP from a DHCP or Bootp server. (To use the DHCP/Bootp option, you must also configure the DHCP or Bootp server accordingly.)
Do one of the following:
■To use the console, set the IP Config parameter to Manual and then manually enter the IP address and subnet mask you want for the switch.
■If you plan to use DHCP or Bootp, use the console to ensure that the IP Config parameter is set to DHCP/Bootp, then refer to “DHCP/Bootp Operation” on page
To Access IP Addressing:
1.From the Main Menu, select:
2.Switch Management Access Configuration (IP, SNMP, Console)...1.IP Configuration
The default setting for Time Protocol Config is DHCP. Setting it to Manual, then pressing [v] or [Tab] causes the Timep Server Address parameter to appear.
The default setting for IP Config is DHCP/Bootp. Using the Space bar to set it to Manual, then pressing
[v]or [Tab] causes the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway parameters to appear.
