Default

Select which traffic flow (In-Bandor Out-of-band) the switch is to use to send

Management

packets with an unknown source or that originated from the switch itself (such as

 

SNMP traps).

 

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. This means that device(s) connected to out-of-band

 

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

 

IP address.

 

 

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

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.
