Viewing and Changing Information About Ports in the Stack
You can specify IP and SLIP information for the current Switch unit in
the stack using the define command on the Interface menu, which is
accessed from the IP menu.
To specify the IP and SLIP information:
ip interface define
The following prompt is displayed, allowing you to enter an IP address
for the Switch:
Enter IP address [0.0.0.0]:
For more information about IP addresses, see "IP Addresses" on
page 3-8.
The following prompt is displayed, allowing you to enter a subnet mask
for the Switch:
Enter subnet mask [255.255.0.0]:
For more information about subnet masks, see "Subnets and Using a
Subnet Mask" on page 3-8.
The following prompt is displayed, allowing you to enter the IP address
of the default router in your network:

If you want to manage the stack using the web interface through the
console port of the Switch, you need to set up Serial Line Interface
Protocol (SLIP) information for the Switch. A SLIP address is similar to
an IP address, but it is used for serial line connections to console ports.
We recommend that you use the address 192.168.101.1. For more
information, see "Using the Serial Web Utility" on page B-1.
