Chapter 5
Assigning a System Identity
This section describes how to assign a Management IP address, subnet mask, and
optional default gateway address to your Switch. The Management IP address is
used for all system services, such as HTTP, FTP, and SNMP. The Management IP
address enables you to manage the Switch from a Web browser.

Switch parameters.
The IP Address Configuration Utility diskette, which comes with your Switch,
searches for the serial numbers of unconfigured Switches. It then displays a table
for you to enter the Management IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway
(optional).
To configure the Switch from the serial interface configuration menu, you must
first connect the serial interface cable to the Switch. Then you can use a terminal
emulation application to enter the Management IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway (optional).
