Action
From the main menu, choose Configuration > IP.
Click Restart DHCP to immediately request a new address.
The switch broadcasts a request for IP configuration settings on
each power reset.
Value
ID of the configured VLAN (Range: 1 to 4094).
This is the only VLAN through which you can gain management
access to the switch. By default, all ports on the switch
are members of VLAN 1, so a management station can be
connected to any port on the switch. However, if other VLANs
are configured and you change the management VLAN, you
can lose management access to the switch. In this case,
reconnect the management station to a port that is a member
of the management VLAN.
Select the configuration method.
If you select DHCP or BOOTP, the IP address does not function
until a reply is received from the server. The switch periodically
broadcasts a request for an IP address.
For Static IP Address Mode, enter the IP address of the
management access VLAN interface.
Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to 255, separated
by periods. (Default: 192.168.1.128)
For Static IP Address Mode, enter the host address bits used
for routing to specific subnets. (Default: 255.255.255.0)
For Static IP Address Mode, enter the IP address of the
gateway router between this device and management stations
that exist on other network segments. (Default: 0.0.0.0)
The MAC address of this switch.
Requests a new IP address from the DHCP server.
