Configuring the Switch

IP Address  Address of the VLAN interface that is allowed management access.. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods.. (Default: 192.168.1.254)

Subnet Mask  This mask identifies the host address bits used for routing to specific subnets.. (Default: 255.255.255.0)

Default Gateway  IP address of the gateway router between this device and management stations that exist on other network segments.. (Default: 0.0.0.0)

DNS Server  Enter the IP address of the DNS server into the text field.. A second DNS address can be specified in the additional text field provided..

Click Save Settings to save the changes..

Click Restart DHCP to assign a new IP address using DHCP..

Setup > Time

Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) allows the Switch to set its internal clock based on periodic updates from a time server (SNTP or NTP).. Maintaining accurate time on the Switch enables the system log to record meaningful dates and times for event entries.. If the clock is not set, the Switch will only record the time from the factory default set at the last bootup.. When the SNTP client is enabled, the Switch periodically sends a request for a time update to a configured time server.. You can configure up to two time server IP addresses.. The Switch will attempt to poll each server in the sequence..
