The switch's MAC address can be found from the console program under the Switch Information menu item, as shown below.
The IP address for the switch must be set before it can be managed with the web-based manager. The switch IP address can be
automatically set using BOOTP or DHCP protocols, in which case the actual address assigned to the switch must be known.
By default, an IP interface named System is configured on the switch and contains all of the ports on the switch. The System
interface can be used initially to assign a range of IP addresses to the switch. Later, when you configure VLANs and IP
interfaces on the switch, the ports you assign to these VLANs and IP interfaces will be removed from the System interface.
The IP address may be set using the Command Line Interface (CLI) over the console serial port as follows:
1. Starting at the command line prompt DGS-3224TGR:4# − enter the commands config ipif System ipaddress
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy. Where the x's represent the IP address to be assigned to the IP interface named
System and the y's represent the corresponding subnet mask.
2. Alternaltively, you can enter DGS3224TGR:4# − enter the commands config ipif System ipaddress
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/z. Where the x's represent the IP address to be assigned to the IP interface named System and the z
represents the corresponding number of subnets in CIDR notation.
The IP interface named System on the switch can be assigned an IP address and subnet mask which can then be used to connect
a management station to the switch's Telnet or Web-based management agent.
