DXS-3350SR Gigabit Layer 3 Switch
Description
The Switch will send out a BOOTP broadcast request when it is powered up. The
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 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 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 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 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 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.
This field will allow the user the enable or disable the Admin State for the IP interface,
by the using the pull-down menu. Disabling this feature will render all remote
management inoperable, and thus the only way to configure the Switch will be to use
the Console port for the Command Line Interface.
