Startup Configuration Requirements

This section provides descriptions of the fields that you must complete with either the IP Address Configuration Utility or the Serial Interface Configuration procedure.

Management IP Address

Enter a Management IP Address for the system. You need this address to manage all system services, such as HTTP, FTP, and SNMP. This address must be accessible from one of the Switch's private physical interfaces. In order to do so, the Management IP Address must map to the same network as one of the private interfaces.

For example, if you are planning on assigning IP address 10.2.3.3 with the subnet mask 255.255.0.0 to the private physical interface, then the Management IP Address must reside in the 10.2 network.

Carefully record the Management IP Address. Later, during the Quick Start or the Guided Configuration, you will be asked to supply IP addresses for the physical interfaces.

Subnet Mask

The Subnet Mask defines how many bits of the IP Address represent the network the device is on and how many bits represent the host’s ID on the network.

The device uses the Subnet Mask to determine which IP Addresses are directly reachable on the network and which must be routed through a gateway. A sample IP Address is 10.2.3.3 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.0.0. This indicates that all hosts with addresses 10.2.n.n are directly reachable.

Default Gateway

The Default Gateway is where packets are routed onto the private network if there is not a specific route in the routing table to the desired location.
