♦ IP Address Determines the IP address used by the Switch
for receiving SNMP and TELNET communications. Should
be of the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a number
(represented in decimal) between 0 and 255. This address
should be a unique address on a network assigned to you by
the central Internet authorities. The same IP address is
shared by both the SLIP and Ethernet network interfaces.
♦ Subnet Mask 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. If no subnetting is being done,
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.
♦ Default Gateway
frames with a destination 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
internetwork, or you do not want the Switch to be accessible
outside your local network, you can leave this field blank.
