DESCRIPTION

Domain Name

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

Server

corresponding IP 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.

 

 

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.
