5.6.1 Changing the Network Configuration
Use the Network Configuration menu to set the bootup option, configure the switch' s Internet Protocol
(IP) parameters. The screen shown below is described in the following table.
Parameter
Description
Interface Type
Indicates IP over Ethernet.
IP Address
IP address of the switch you are managing. The system supports SNMP over UDP/IP
transport protocol. In this environment, all systems on the Internet, such as network
interconnection devices and any PC accessing the agent module must have an IP
address. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, of 0 to 255, and separated by
periods. Anything outside of this format will not be accepted by the configuration
program.
Subnet Mask
Subnet mask of the switch. This mask identifies the host address bits used for routing
to specific subnets.
Gateway IP
Gateway used to pass trap messages from the system' s agent to the management
station. Note that the gateway must be defined (when operating at Layer 2) if the
management station is located in a different IP segment.
IP State
Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via manual configuration, or set by Boot
Protocol (BOOTP).
Options include:
USER-CONFIG - IP functionality is enabled based on the default or user specified IP
Configuration. (This is the default setting.)
BOOTP Get IP - IP is enabled but will not function until a BOOTP reply has been
received. BOOTP requests will be periodically broadcasted by the switch in an effort to
learn its IP address. (BOOTP values can include the IP address, default gateway, and
subnet mask.)
VLAN ID
The VLAN used for management access when "Mgmt VLAN" is selected. See the
next item.
