The Switch's MAC address can also be found in the Web management program on the Switch Information
(Basic Settings) window in the Configuration folder.
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 command 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, users 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.
Figure 1–3 Assigning an IP Address
In the above example, the Switch was assigned an IP address of 10.90.90.91 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0.
The system message Success indicates that the command was executed successfully. The Switch can now be
configured and managed via Telnet, SNMP MIB browser and the CLI or via the Web-based management agent
using the above IP address to connect to the Switch.
