Tcp/Ip Setup - D-Link DGS-3208F User Manual

TCP/IP Setup

You can change the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway on the Switch. If you are not using
BOOTP, enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway of the Switch. If you enable BOOTP, you
do not need to configure any IP parameters because a BOOTP server automatically assigns IP configuration
parameters to the Switch. Click Apply to activate the new settings.
The information is described as follows:
IP Address The Internet address for the device.
Subnet Mask The subnet mask determines the level of the subnet that the Switch is on.
Default Gateway The default router for the device.
Assign IP Determines whether the Switch should get its IP Address settings from the user (Manual), a
BOOTP server, or a DHCP server. If Manual is chosen, the Switch will use the IP Address, Subnet Mask
and Default Gateway settings defined in this screen upon being rebooted. If BOOTP is chosen, 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 supplied
settings. If DHCP is chosen, a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol request will be sent when the Switch
is powered up.
