Setting an IP Address
You must establish IP address information for the switch to obtain
management access through the network. This can be done in
either of the following ways:
Manual — You have to input the information, including IP
address and subnet mask. If your management station is not in the
same IP subnet as the switch, you will also need to specify the
default gateway router.
Dynamic — The switch sends IP configuration requests to
BOOTP or DHCP address allocation servers on the network.
Note: Only one VLAN interface can be assigned an IP address
(the default is VLAN 1). This defines the management
VLAN, the only VLAN through which you can gain
management access to the switch. If you assign an IP
address to any other VLAN, the new IP address overrides
the original IP address and this becomes the new
management VLAN.
Manual Configuration
You can manually assign an IP address to the switch. You may also
need to specify a default gateway that resides between this device
and management stations that exist on another network segment.
Valid IP addresses consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255,
separated by periods. Anything outside this format will not be
accepted by the CLI program.
Note: The IP address for this switch is assigned via DHCP by
default.
