management station that will access the Switch. The Switch will allow management access from stations with
the same VID listed here.
To use the BOOTP or DHCP protocols to assign the Switch an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway
address:
Select BOOTP or DHCP, this will determine how the Switch will be assigned an IP address.
The IP Address Settings options are:
Parameter Description
The Switch will send out a BOOTP broadcast request when it is powered up. The BOOTP
BOOTP
protocol allows IP addresses, network masks, and default gateways to be assigned by a central
BOOTP server. If this option is set, the Switch will first look for a BOOTP server to provide it with
this information before using the default or previously entered settings.
The Switch will send out a DHCP broadcast request when it is powered up. The DHCP protocol
DHCP
allows IP addresses, network masks, and default gateways to be assigned by a DHCP server. If
this option is set, the Switch will first look for a DHCP server to provide it with this information
before using the default or previously entered settings.
Allows the entry of an IP address, Subnet Mask, and a Default Gateway for the Switch. These
Static
fields should be of the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a number (represented in decimal
form) between 0 and 255. This address should be a unique address on the network assigned for
use by the network administrator.
A Bitmask that determines the extent of the subnet that the Switch is on. Should be of the form
Subnet Mask
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a number (represented in decimal) between 0 and 255. The
value should be 255.0.0.0 for a Class A network, 255.255.0.0 for a Class B network, and
255.255.255.0 for a Class C network, but custom subnet masks are allowed.
IP address that determines where packets with a destination address outside the current subnet
Gateway
should be sent. This is usually the address of a router or a host acting as an IP gateway. If your
network is not part of an intranet, or you do not want the Switch to be accessible outside your
local network, you can leave this field unchanged.
This allows the entry of a VLAN Name from which a management station will be allowed to
Management
manage the Switch using TCP/IP (in-band via web manager or Telnet). Management stations that
VLAN Name
are on VLANs other than the one entered here will not be able to manage the Switch in-band
unless their IP addresses are entered in the Security IP Management window. If VLANs have
not yet been configured for the Switch, the default VLAN contains all of the Switch's ports. There
are no entries in the Security IP Management table, by default, so any management station that
can connect to the Switch can access the Switch until a management VLAN is specified or
Management Station IP Addresses are assigned.
Click Apply to allow changes to take effect.
NOTE: The Switch's factory default IP address is 10.90.90.90 with a
subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 and a default gateway of 0.0.0.0.
