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. You can change the default Switch IP address to meet the specification of your
networking address scheme.
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 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, you 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.
The system message Success indicates that the command was executed successfully. The Switch can
now be configured and managed via Telnet and the CLI or via the Web-based management agent
using the above IP address to connect to the Switch.
Port Configuration
This section contains information for configuring various attributes and properties for individual
physical ports, including port speed and flow control.
Port Settings
Click Administration > Port Configuration > Port Settings to display the following window:
To configure switch ports:
1. Choose the port or sequential range of ports using the From...To... port pull-down menus.
2. Use the remaining pull-down menus to configure the parameters described below:
able to manage the Switch in-band unless their IP addresses are entered in the
Security IP Management menu. 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 Security
IP Management 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.
