Object ID  The system object identifier is displayed here..

Base MAC Address  Physical address of a device mapped to this interface..

IP Configuration

To manually configure IP settings, you need to set an IP address and subnet mask compatible with your network.. You may also need to establish a default gateway between the Switch and management stations that exist on another network segment..

An IP address may be used for management access to the Switch over your network.. You may also need to establish a default gateway between the Switch and management stations that exist on another network segment..

Management VLAN  ID of the configured VLAN (1-4094, no leading zeroes).. By default, all ports on the Switch are members of VLAN 1.. However, the management station can be attached to a port belonging to any VLAN, as long as that VLAN has been assigned an IP address..

IP Address Mode  Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via manual configuration (Static), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), or Boot Protocol (BOOTP)..

NOTE: If DHCP/BOOTP is enabled, IP will not function until a reply has been received from the server.. Requests will be broadcast periodically by the Switch for an IP address.. If the mode is set to DHCP/BOOTP and a server is not available, you can reconfigure the settings by connecting the console interface directly to a computer..

Select the IP Address Mode using the drop-down menu.  Selecting Static will allow you to enter a static IP address, subnet mask and default gateway using the text field provided.. Selecting BOOTP or DHCP disables these text boxes and auto assigns an IP address.. The default setting is Static..

Host Name  Assign a host name to the Switch..
