The Switch will send out a DHCP broadcast request when it is powered up. The DHCP protocol
DHCP
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.
Allows the entry of an IP address, Subnet Mask, and a Default Gateway for the Switch. These
Manual
fields should be of the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a number (represented in decimal
form) between 0 and 255. This address should be a unique address on the network assigned for
use by the network administrator.
A Bitmask that determines the extent of the subnet that the Switch is on. Should be of the form
Subnet Mask
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a number (represented in decimal) between 0 and 255. The
value should be 255.0.0.0 for a Class A network, 255.255.0.0 for a Class B network, and
255.255.255.0 for a Class C network, but custom subnet masks are allowed.
IP address that determines where packets with a destination address outside the current subnet
Default Gateway
should be sent. This is usually the address of a router or a host acting as an IP gateway. If your
network is not part of an intranet, or you do not want the Switch to be accessible outside your
local network, you can leave this field unchanged.
This allows the entry of a VLAN Name from which a management station will be allowed to
VLAN Name
manage the Switch using TCP/IP (in-band via web manager or Telnet). Management stations that
are on VLANs other than the one entered here will not be able to manage the Switch in-band
unless their IP addresses are entered in the Security IP Management menu. If VLANs have not
yet been configured for the Switch, the default VLAN contains all of the Switch's ports. There are
no entries in the Security IP Management table, by default, so any management station that can
connect to the Switch can access the Switch until a management VLAN is specified or
Management Station IP Addresses are assigned.
