Installing and Configuring the Edge Switch 2/12

Configure Switch Network Information

The Edge Switch 2/12 is delivered with the following default network addresses:
Verify the type of LAN installation with the network administrator. If one switch
is installed on a dedicated LAN, network addresses do not require change.

Changing the Switch Address

If multiple switches are installed or a public LAN segment is used, network
addresses must be changed to conform to the LAN addressing scheme. The
following items are required to perform this task.
40
MAC address — the media access control (MAC) address is programmed
into FLASH memory on the CTP card at the time of manufacture. The MAC
address is unique for each Edge Switch, and should not be changed. The
address is in xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx format, where xx is a hexadecimal pair.
IP address — the default (factory preset) internet protocol (IP) address is
10.1.1.10.
If multiple Edge Switches are installed on the same LAN, each Edge Switch
must have a unique IP address. One Edge Switch can use the factory-set
address, but the addresses of the remaining Edge Switches must be changed.
Subnet mask — the default subnet mask is 255.0.0.0. If the switch is
installed on a complex public LAN with one or more routers, the address may
require change.
Gateway address — the default gateway address is 0.0.0.0. If the switch is
installed on a dedicated LAN with no connection through a router, the address
does not require change. If the switch is installed on a public LAN (corporate
intranet), the gateway address must be changed to the address of the corporate
intranet's local router.
A local workstation (desktop or notebook computer) with the following:
— Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP,
Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0 operating system.
— RS-232 serial communication software (for example, ProComm Plus or
HyperTerminal). HyperTerminal is provided with the Windows operating
systems.
An asynchronous RS-232 null modem cable (provided with the switch).
