5.6.1 Changing the Network Configuration ( Layer 2 Mode of WGS3-2620)
Use the Network Configuration menu to set the bootup option, configure the switch’ s Internet Protocol (IP) parameters. The screen shown below is described in the following table.
Parameter | Description |
Interface Type | Indicates IP over Ethernet. |
IP Address | IP address of the switch you are managing. The system supports SNMP over UDP/IP |
| transport protocol. In this environment, all systems on the Internet, such as network |
| interconnection devices and any PC accessing the agent module must have an IP |
| address. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, of 0 to 255, and separated by |
| periods. Anything outside of this format will not be accepted by the configuration |
| program. |
Subnet Mask | Subnet mask of the switch. This mask identifies the host address bits used for routing |
| to specific subnets. |
Gateway IP | Gateway used to pass trap messages from the system’ s agent to the management |
| station. Note that the gateway must be defined (when operating at Layer 2) if the |
| management station is located in a different IP segment. |
IP State | Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via manual configuration, or set by Boot |
| Protocol (BOOTP). |
| Options include: |
| |
| Configuration. (This is the default setting.) |
| BOOTP Get IP - IP is enabled but will not function until a BOOTP reply has been |
| received. BOOTP requests will be periodically broadcasted by the switch in an effort to |
| learn its IP address. (BOOTP values can include the IP address, default gateway, and |
| subnet mask.) |
VLAN ID | The VLAN used for management access when “Mgmt VLAN” is selected. See the |
| next item. |
