Setting The Switch's Ip Address Using The Console Interface - D-Link DGS-3200 Series User Manual

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.
Gateway 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.
Management This allows the entry of a VLAN name from which a management station will be allowed to manage
VLAN Name 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 Trusted Host 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 Trusted
Host 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.

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. The default Switch IP address
can be changed to meet the specification of your networking address scheme.
The IP address for the Switch must be set before the Web-based manager can manage the switch. 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, the user 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.
Successful entry of the command will produce a "Success" message, indicating that the command execution was correctly. The
user may now utilize this address to configure or manage the Switch through Telnet, the Command Line Interface (CLI) or the
Web-based management (GUI).
