Ip Address - D-Link DES-3250TG User Manual

IP Address

The Switch needs to have an IP address assigned to it so that an In-Band network management system
(for example, the Web Manager or Telnet) client can find it on the network. The IP Address Settings
window allows you to change the settings for the Ethernet interface used for in-band communication.
To set the switch's IP address:
Click IP Address on the Configuration menu to open the following window:
Note: The switch's factory default IP address is 10.90.90.90 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 and a
default gateway of 0.0.0.0.
To manually assign the switch's IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address:
Select Manual from the Get IP From drop-down menu.
Enter the appropriate IP address and subnet mask.
If you want to access the switch from a different subnet from the one it is installed on, enter the IP
address of the gateway. If you will manage the switch from the subnet on which it is installed, you can
leave the default address in this field.
If no VLANs have been previously configured on the switch, you can use the default VLAN − named
"default." The default VLAN contains all of the switch ports as members. If VLANs have been previously
configured on the switch, you will need to enter the VLAN name of the VLAN that contains the port that
the management station will access the switch on.
To use the BOOTP or DHCP protocols to assign the switch an IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway address:
Use the Get IP From pull-down menu to choose from Manual, BOOTP, or DHCP. This selects how the
switch will be assigned an IP address on the next reboot (or startup).
The following fields can be set:
