Setting the IP address

You can use an IP address to manage access to the switch over your
network. By default, the switch uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) to assign IP settings to the management VLAN. (Default: VLAN
1.) If you want to manually configure IP settings, the IP address and subnet
mask must be compatible with your network. You may also need to establish
a default gateway between the switch and management stations that exist
on another network segment.
You can manually configure a specific IP address or direct the device to
obtain an address from a Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) or DHCP server.
Valid IP addresses consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by
periods. This is the only format that the Web-based user interface accepts.
