6Do one of the following, based on your configuration:

•For a standalone switch, enter the IP address of the switch in the In-Band Switch IP Address field.

Note: If the In-Band Subnet Mask field does not already contain a value when you enter the IP address in the In-Band Switch IP Address field, the switch software provides an in-use default value for the In-Band Subnet Mask field, based on the class of the entered IP address.

•For a stack configuration, enter the Stack IP address in the In-Band Stack IP Address field.

Note: The In-Band Switch IP Address field allows this switch to operate as a standalone switch. However, this field is not required for the operation of the stack. You cannot enter the same IP address in both fields.

7In the In-Band Subnet Mask field, enter the IP subnet mask address.

8In the Default Gateway field, enter the default gateway address.
