Configuring IP Information

Management and IP Interfaces

Cisco Small Business 200 1. 1 Series Smart Switch Administration Guide
IP interface addresses can be configured manually by the user, or automatically
configured by a DHCP server. This section provides information for defining the
switch IP addresses.
It includes the following topics:
• Management and IP Interfaces
• Configuring ARP
• Domain Name Systems
The switch operates as a Layer 2 VLAN-aware switch, and has no routing
capabilities. The 200 Series switches do not have Layer 3 capabilities.
Layer 2 IP Addressing
Layer 2 IP Addressing
The switch has a single IP address in the management VLAN. This IP address and
the default gateway can be configured manually, or by DHCP. The static IP address
and default gateway are configured on the IPv4 Interface page. The switch uses
the default gateway, if configured, to communicate with devices that are not in the
same IP subnet as the switch. By default, VLAN 1 is the management VLAN, but
this can be modified. The switch can only be reached at the configured IP address
through its management VLAN.
The factory default setting of the IP address configuration is DHCP. This means
that the switch acts as a DHCP client, and sends out a DHCP request during boot
up.
