Setting an IP Address

You must establish IP address information for the switch to obtain management access through the network. 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 configuration program.

Note: The IP address for this switch is unassigned 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

Network mask for this network

Default gateway for the network
