LABEL

DESCRIPTION

 

Default

Specify which traffic flow (In-Bandor Out-of-band) the Switch is to

 

Management

send packets 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.

 

 

 

 

In-Band 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.

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

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 192.168.0.254.

 

 

 

 

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 begin configuring the fields again.
