Setting The Switch's Ip Address Using The Console Interface - D-Link des-3010f User Manual

DES-3010F/DES-3010FL/DES-3010G/DES-3018/DES-3026 Fast Ethernet Switch Manual
Manual Allows the entry of an IP address, Subnet Mask, and a Default Gateway for the Switch. These
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.
Subnet Mask A Bitmask that determines the extent of the subnet that the Switch is on. Should be of the form
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
Default
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.
VLAN Name This allows the entry of a VLAN Name from which a management station will be allowed to manage
the Switch using TCP/IP (in-band via web manager or Telnet). Management stations that 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 menu. 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.
Auto Config When autoconfig is enabled, the Switch is instructed to get a configuration file via TFTP, and it
State becomes a DHCP client automatically. The configuration file will be loaded upon booting up. In
order to use Auto Config, the DHCP server must be set up to deliver the TFTP server IP address
and configuration file name information in the DHCP reply packet. The TFTP server must be
running and have the requested configuration file stored in its base directory when the request is
received from the Switch. Consult the DHCP server and/or TFTP server software instructions for
information on loading a configuration file for use by a client. (Also see the section titled Error!
Reference source not found. for instructions on uploading a configuration to a TFTP server.
If the Switch is unable to complete the autoconfiguration process the previously saved
configuration file present in Switch memory will be loaded.
Description Enter a description of up to 128 alphanumeric characters to identify this IP interface. Only one IP
interface can be set for this switch.

Setting the Switch's IP Address using the Console Interface

Each Switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with an SNMP network manager
or other TCP/IP application (for example BOOTP, TFTP). The Switch's default IP address is 10.90.90.90. You can
change the default Switch IP address to meet the specification of your networking address scheme.
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. The IP address may be set using the Command Line Interface (CLI) over the console serial port
as follows:
Starting at the command line prompt, 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.
Alternatively, you can enter 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.
The system message Success indicates that the command was executed successfully. The Switch can now be
configured and managed via Telnet and the CLI or via the Web-based management agent using the above IP address to
connect to the Switch.
