Configuring the Switch Modules using the Menu-driven Interface
To set up the switch module for remote management:
1. Highlight Configure IP Address from the Configuration menu.
2. Press the Enter key. The following screen is displayed.
The Remote Management Setup screen lets you specify how the switch module will be
assigned an IP address, which allows an in-band network management system (for
example, Telnet) client to find it on the network.
The fields listed under the Current Switch IP Settings heading are those that are
currently being used by the switch module. Those fields listed under the New Switch IP
Settings heading are those which will be used after the switch module has been rebooted.
3. Toggle the Get IP From field to choose from Manual, BOOTP, or DHCP. This action
selects how the switch module will be assigned an IP address.
— BOOTP—The switch module sends out a BOOTP broadcast request. The BOOTP
— DHCP—The switch module sends out a DHCP broadcast request. The DHCP
— Manual—This option allows the entry of an IP address, subnet mask, and default

protocol allows IP addresses, network masks, and default gateways to be assigned by
a central BOOTP server. If this option is set, the switch module first looks for a
BOOTP server to provide it with this information.

gateway for the switch module. The data in these fields should be of the form
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a number between 0 and 255. This address should
be a unique address on the network assigned for use by the Network Administrator.
The fields that require entries under this option include:
— Subnet Mask—A Bitmask that determines the extent of the subnet that the
switch module is on. 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.
