IP Conf iguration
This chapter describes how to configure an IP interface for management access to the switch over the network. This switch
supports both IP Version 4 and Version 6, and can be managed simultaneously through either of these address types. You can
manually configure a specific IPv4 or IPv6 address, or direct the switch to obtain an IPv4 address from a BOOTP or DHCP server. An
IPv6 address can either be manually configured or dynamically generated.
This chapter provides information on network functions including:
IPv4 Conf iguration - Sets an IPv4 address for management access.
IPv6 Conf iguration - Sets an IPv6 address for management access.
Setting the Switch's IP Address (IP Version 4)
This section describes how to configure an IPv4 interface for management access over the network. This switch supports both
IPv4 and IPv6, and can be managed through either of these address types. For information on configuring the switch with an IPv6
address, see the Setting the Switch's IP Address (IP Version 6) section on page 267.
Conf iguring the IPv4 Default Gateway
Use the System > IP (Configure Global) page to configure an IPv4 default gateway for the switch.
The following table lists the options on this page:
System - IP Options
Gateway IP Address
Perform theses steps to configure an IPv4 default gateway for the switch:
1.
Click System > IP.
2.
Select Conf igure Global from the Action list.
3.
Enter the IPv4 default gateway.
4.
Click Apply.

Conf iguring IPv4 Interface Settings
Use the System > IP (Configure Interface - Add Address) page to configure an IPv4 address for the switch. The default IPv4
address for VLAN 1 is set to 192.168.2.10 using the subnet mask 255.255.255.0. To change the switch's default settings to values
that are compatible with your network, you may need to establish a default gateway between the switch and management stations
that exist on another network segment.
You can direct the device to obtain an address from a BOOTP or DHCP server, or manually configure a static IP address. Valid IP
addresses consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything other than this format will not be accepted.
The following table lists the options on this page:
System - IP Options
VLAN
IP Address Mode
Instruction Manual - NXA-ENET8-POE+
IP address of the gateway router between the switch and management stations that exist on other
network segments. (Default: None)
An IP default gateway must be defined if the management station is located in a different IP
segment.
An IP default gateway can only be successfully set when a network interface that directly connects
to the gateway has been configured on the switch.
ID of the VLAN to be used for management access. By default, all ports on the switch are members
of VLAN 1. However, the management station can be attached to a port belonging to any VLAN, as
long as that VLAN has been assigned an IP address. (Range: 1-4094; Default: VLAN 1)
Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via manual configuration (User Specified), Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), or Boot Protocol (BOOTP). If DHCP/BOOTP is enabled, IP will
not function until a reply has been received from the server. Requests will be broadcast periodically
by the switch for an IP address. DHCP/BOOTP responses can include the IP address, subnet mask,
and default gateway. (Default: User Specified)
