The network module provides setting switch IP address, dynamic binding and aging time, configuring static MAC address and filtering MAC address, displaying dynamic bound address and ping functions.

4.3.1 Switch IP Address

An IP address is indispensable for a switch to be accessed. The TL- SG2216WEB/TL-SG2224WEB Web-Smart Switch Family provides the configuration interface of IP address, netmask and default gateway.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is dedicated for the DHCP client to obtain IP configuration information from the DHCP server. Two types of information are included in IP configuration information. One type is specific configuration information; another is IP address parameter. DHCP is based on client-server mode. The network station that offers the IP configuration information is called DHCP server.

Make sure that a DHCP server is correctly connected to the network, enable the DHCP client function of the switch, then the switch will automatically obtain IP address, netmask and default gateway from the DHCP server.

If more than one DHCP servers are available in the network, the switch will choose one according to a specific algorithm.

Notice:

If no DHCP server is present in the network, the DHCP client fails to get IP configuration information, the switch then restores the IP parameters to default in several minutes to ensure a valid IP address being equipped.
