Table 13 Network IP configuration parameters

Parameter	Description

Network	Choose one of the following methods by which to assign the IP address:
Discovery	• Static—Uses the IP configuration parameters entered in the Switch Properties

	dialog.
	• BootP—Acquires the IP configuration from a BootP server. If no IP address is
	obtained, the switch reverts to the previously configured IP address.
	• RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol)—Acquires the IP address from a
	RARP server. A RARP request is broadcast with up to three retries, each at 5
	second intervals. If no IP address is obtained, the switch reverts to the
	previously configured IP address.
	• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)—Acquires the IP configuration
	from a DHCP server. If no satisfactory lease is obtained, the DHCP client
	attempts to use the previously configured lease. If the previous lease cannot be
	used, no IP address will be assigned to this switch in order to avoid an IP
	address conflict.

IP Address	Internet Protocol (IP) address for the Ethernet port. The default value is 10.0.0.1.

Subnet mask	Subnet mask address for the Ethernet port. The default value is 255.0.0.0.

Gateway	IP gateway address. The default value is 10.0.0.254.
