as long as that VLAN has been assigned an IP address.

•IP Address Mode – Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via manual configuration (Static), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), or Boot Protocol (BOOTP). If DHCP/BOOTP is enabled, IP will not function until a reply has been received from the server.

Requests will be broadcast periodically by the switch for an IP address. (DHCP/BOOTP values can include the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.)

•IP Address – Address of the VLAN interface through which the management station is attached. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. (Default: 0.0.0.0)

•Subnet Mask – This mask identifies the host address bits used for routing to specific subnets. (Default: 255.0.0.0)

•Default Gateway – IP address of the gateway router between this device and management stations that exist on other network segments. (Default: 0.0.0.0)

•MAC Address – The physical layer address for this switch.

Manual Configuration

Web – Click IP, General, Routing Interface. Select the VLAN through which the management station is attached, set the IP Address Mode to “Static,” and specify a “Primary” interface. Enter the IP address, subnet mask and gateway, then click Apply.
