The switch needs to have an IP address assigned to it so that an in-band network management system
(e.g. Telnet) client can find it on the network. The Remote Management Setup screen allows you to
change the settings for the two different management interfaces used on the switch: the Ethernet
interface used for in-band communication, and the SLIP interface used over the console port for out-of-
band communication. Please see the Configure RS232 and SLIP section later in this manual for further
information.
The fields listed under the Current Switch IP Settings heading are those currently being used by the
switch. Those fields listed under the New Switch IP Settings heading are those that will be used after
the switch has been rebooted.
Toggle the Get IP From field using the space bar to choose from Manual, BOOTP, or DHCP. This selects
how the switch will be assigned an IP address on the next reboot (or startup).
The Get IP From options are:
•
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.
•
Manual – Allows the entry of an IP address, Subnet Mask, and a Default Gateway for the
switch. These 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. The fields which require
entries under this option are as follows:
