700 Series Managed Switch User’s Guide for Software v2.1

IP Assignment Mode. The user manually enters IP related information

•Bootstrap Protocol, which allows the switch to discover its own IP address from a BootP server on the network

•DHCP, which allows the switch to accept DHCP broadcasts from a DHCP server and automatically configures IP related information

The default setting is DHCP, to enable quick and easy set-up. However, since you need to know the IP address of your switch to remotely manage it and DHCP assignments can change, change the IP assignment mode from DHCP to manual after the switch has obtained its IP address.

Figure 4-11: Set-up Manager: IP Configuration

Note: In DHCP mode, if the switch fails to get a DHCP assignment, the switch defaults to 192.168.0.1 as its IP address.

If you are in the manual mode and need to configure the IP information, enter a site-specific IP address, Gateway Address, and Network Mask (or subnet mask). Consult your network administrator for the information.

Press Ctrl-W to save any changes to NVRAM.
