Ip Address - D-Link des-3010f User Manual

DES-3010F/DES-3010FL/DES-3010G/DES-3018/DES-3026 Fast Ethernet Switch Manual

IP Address

The IP Address may initially be set using the console interface prior to connecting to it through the Ethernet. If the Switch IP
address has not yet been changed, read the introduction of the Command Line Interface Reference Manual or return to Section 4
of this manual for more information.
To change IP settings using the web manager you must access the IP Address menu located in the Configuration folder.
To configure the Switch's IP address:
Open the Administration folder and click the IP Address menu link. The web manager will display the Switch's current IP
settings in the IP configuration menu, as seen below.
To manually assign the Switch's IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address:
1. Select Manual from the Get IP From drop-down menu.
2. Enter the appropriate IP Address and Subnet Mask.
3. If you want to access the Switch from a different subnet from the one it is installed on, enter the IP address of the Default
Gateway. If you will manage the Switch from the subnet on which it is installed, you can leave the default address
(0.0.0.0) in this field.
4. If no VLANs have been previously configured on the Switch, you can use the default VLAN Name. The default VLAN
contains all of the Switch ports as members. If VLANs have been previously configured on the Switch, you will need to
enter the VLAN ID of the VLAN that contains the port connected to the management station that will access the Switch.
The Switch will allow management access from stations with the same VID listed here.
To use the BOOTP or DHCP protocols to assign the Switch an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address:
Use the Get IP From: <Manual> pull-down menu to choose from BOOTP or DHCP. This selects how the Switch will be
assigned an IP address on the next reboot.
The IP Address Settings options are:
Parameter Description
BOOTP The Switch will send out a BOOTP broadcast request when it is powered up. The BOOTP protocol
allows IP addresses, network masks, and default gateways to be assigned by a central BOOTP
server. If this option is set, the Switch will first look for a BOOTP server to provide it with this
information before using the default or previously entered settings.
DHCP The Switch will send out a DHCP broadcast request when it is powered up. The DHCP protocol
allows IP addresses, network masks, and default gateways to be assigned by a DHCP server. If
this option is set, the Switch will first look for a DHCP server to provide it with this information
before using the default or previously entered settings.

NOTE: The Switch's factory default IP address is 10.90.90.90 with a
subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 and a default gateway of 0.0.0.0.
