DESCRIPTION

 

 

Domain

DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP

Name Server

address and vice versa. Enter a domain name server IP address in order to be able to

 

use a domain name instead of an IP address.

Default

Specify which traffic flow (In-Band or Out-of-band) the switch is to send packets

Management

originating from itself (such as SNMP traps) or packets with unknown source.

 

Select Out-of-bandto have the switch send the packets to the out-of-band

 

management port. This means that device(s) connected to the other port(s) do not

 

receive these packets.

 

Select In-Bandto have the switch send the packets to all ports except the out-of-band

 

management port to which connected device(s) do not receive these packets.

IP Address

 

DHCP Client

Select this option if you have a DHCP server that can assign the switch an IP address,

 

subnet mask, a default gateway IP address and a domain name server IP address

 

automatically.

Static IP

Select this option if you don’t have a DHCP server or if you wish to assign static IP

Address

address information to the switch. You need to fill in the following fields when you select

 

this option.

IP Address

Enter the IP address of your switch in dotted decimal notation for example 192.168.1.1.

 

 

IP Subnet

Enter the IP subnet mask of your switch in dotted decimal notation for example

Mask

255.255.255.0.

Default

Enter the IP address of the default outgoing gateway in dotted decimal notation, for

Gateway

example 192.168.1.254.

VID

Enter the VLAN identification number associated with the switch IP address. VID is the

 

VLAN ID of the CPU and is used for management only. The default is "1". All ports, by

 

default, are fixed members of this "management VLAN" in order to manage the device

 

from any port. If a port is not a member of this VLAN, then users on that port cannot

 

access the device. To access the switch make sure the port that you are connected to is

 

a member of Management VLAN.

Out-of-band Management IP Address

 

 

IP Address

Enter the IP address of your switch in dotted decimal notation for example 192.168.0.1.

 

If you change this IP address, make sure the computer connected to this management

 

port is in the same subnet before accessing the switch.

IP Subnet

Enter the IP subnet mask of your switch in dotted decimal notation for example

Mask

255.255.255.0.

Default

Enter the IP address of the default outgoing gateway in dotted decimal notation, for

Gateway

example 192.168.0.254.

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes to the switch’s run-time memory. The switch loses

 

these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top

 

navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done

 

configuring.

Cancel

Click Cancel to reset the fields.

 

 

In-band IP

You can create up to 64 IP addresses which are used to access and manage the switch

Addresses

from the ports belonging to the pre-defined VLAN(s). You must configure a VLAN first.

IP Address

Enter the IP address for managing the switch by the members of the VLAN specified in

 

the VID field below.
