Function name: IP Configuration
Function Description: Set IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and
DNS for the switch.
Parameter Description:
DHCP Setting: DHCP is the abbreviation of Dynamic Host Configura-
tion Protocol. Here DHCP means a switch to turn ON or OFF the func-
tion.
The switch supports DHCP client used to get an IP address automati-
cally if you set this function "Enable". When enabled, the switch will
issue the request to the DHCP server resided in the network to get an
IP address. If DHCP server is down or does not exist, the switch will
issue the request and show IP address is under requesting, until the
DHCP server is up. Before getting an IP address from DHCP server, the
device will not continue booting procedures. If set this field "Disable",
you'll have to input IP address manually. For more details about IP
address and DHCP, please see the Section 2-1-5 "IP Address Assign-
ment" in this manual.
Default: Disable
IP address: Users can configure the IP settings and fill in new values
if users set the DHCP function "Disable". Then, click <Apply> button
to update. When DHCP is disabled, Default: 192.168.1.1 If DHCP is
enabled, this field is filled by DHCP server and will not allow user
manually set it any more.
Subnet mask: Subnet mask is made for the purpose to get more net-
work address because any IP device in a network must own its IP
address, composed of Network address and Host address, otherwise
can't communicate with other devices each other. But unfortunately,
the network classes A, B, and C are all too large to fit for almost all
