Configuring IP Information

This section describes how to configure an initial IP interface for management
access over the network. The IP address for this switch is unassigned by default. To
manually configure an address, you need to change the switch IP address and
netmask to values that are compatible with your network. You may also need to
establish a default gateway between the switch and management stations that exist
on another network segment.
You can manually configure a specific IP address, or direct the device to obtain an
address from a DHCP server. Valid IP addresses consist of four decimal numbers, 0
to 255, separated by periods. The system supports up-to 5 IP addresses per device.
Anything outside this format will not be accepted by the CLI program.

Defining IP Addresses

The IP Interface Page contains fields for assigning IP parameters to interfaces, and
for assigning gateway devices. Packets are forwarded to the default IP when frames
are sent to a remote network. The configured IP address must belong to the same IP
address subnet of one of the IP interfaces.
