xStack DES-3800 Series Layer 3 Stackable Fast Ethernet Managed Switch
3. If you want to access the Switch from a different subnet from the one it is installed on, enter
the IP address of the Default Gateway. If you will manage the Switch from the subnet on
which it is installed, you can leave the default address (0.0.0.0) in this field.
4. If no VLANs have been previously configured on the Switch, you can use the default VLAN
Name. 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 ID of the VLAN that
contains the port connected to the management station that will access the Switch. The Switch
will allow management access from stations with the same VID listed here.
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 BOOTP or DHCP. This selects how the Switch
will be assigned an IP address on the next reboot.
The IP Address Settings options are:
Parameter
BOOTP
DHCP
Manual
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
VLAN Name
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.
NOTE: If you enable the AutoConfig, the Get IP From
setting will automatically become DHCP.
Description
The Switch will send out a BOOTP broadcast request when it is powered up. The
BOOTP protocol allows IP addresses, network masks, and default gateways to be
assigned by a central BOOTP server. If this option is set, the Switch will first look for a
BOOTP server to provide it with this information before using the default or previously
entered settings.
The Switch will send out a DHCP broadcast request when it is powered up. The DHCP
protocol allows IP addresses, network masks, and default gateways to be assigned by
a DHCP server. If this option is set, the Switch will first look for a DHCP server to
provide it with this information before using the default or previously entered settings.
Allows the entry of an IP address, Subnet Mask, and a Default Gateway for the Switch.
These fields should be of the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a number
(represented in decimal form) between 0 and 255. This address should be a unique
address on the network assigned for use by the network administrator.
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.
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.
This allows the entry of a VLAN Name from which a management station will be
allowed to manage 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
