Table 16 Basic Setting > IP Setup

LABEL	DESCRIPTION
Domain Name	DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP
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 Management 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 Address	Select this option if you don’t have a DHCP server or if you wish to assign static IP
	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 Mask	Enter the IP subnet mask of your Switch in dotted decimal notation for example
	255.255.255.0.
Default Gateway	Enter the IP address of the default outgoing gateway in dotted decimal notation, for
	example 192.168.1.254.
VID	Enter the VLAN identification number associated with the Switch IP address. This 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.
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 begin configuring the fields again.

Management IP Addresses

You can create up to 64 IP addresses, which are used to access and manage the Switch 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.
IP Subnet Mask	Enter the IP subnet mask in dotted decimal notation.
VID	Type the VLAN group identification number.
Default Gateway	Enter the IP address of the default outgoing gateway in dotted decimal notation.
Add	Click Add to insert the entry to the summary table below and 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 to your previous configuration.
Index	This field displays the index number of the rule. Click an index number to edit the rule.
IP Address	This field displays the IP address.
IP Subnet Mask	This field displays the subnet mask.
VID	This field displays the ID number of the VLAN group.
Default Gateway	This field displays the IP address of the default gateway.
