SMC Networks SMC6224M manual Setting an IP Address, Manual Configuration

BASIC CONFIGURATION

Setting an IP Address

You must establish IP address information for the stack 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 stack’s master unit, 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.

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 obtained via DHCP by default.

Before you can assign an IP address to the switch, you must obtain the following information from your network administrator:

•IP address for the switch

•Default gateway for the network

•Network mask for this network

To assign an IP address to the switch, complete the following steps:

1.From the Privileged Exec level global configuration mode prompt, type “interface vlan 1” to access the interface-configuration mode. Press <Enter>.
