The New Switch IP Settings options include:
Parameter
BOOTP
DHCP
Manual
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
VLAN Name
In addition to IP settings, the Basic Switch Setup menu is also where you may enter optional settings to assign a name, location
description and contact information for the network manager. This information appears in the Switch Information display in
the web manager or when the show switch command is used in the CLI interface.

Description
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 default or previously entered settings.
The Switch will send out a DHCP broadcast request when it is powered up. The DHCP
protocol allows IP addresses, network masks, and default gateways to be assigned by a
DHCP server. If this option is set, the Switch will first look for a DHCP server to provide it
with this information before using the default or previously entered settings.
Allows the entry of an IP address, Subnet Mask, and a Default Gateway for the Switch.
These fields should be of the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a number
(represented in decimal form) between 0 and 255. This address should be a unique
address on the network assigned for use by the network administrator. The fields which
require entries under this option are as follows:
A 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. 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.
IP address that determines where packets with a destination address 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 intranet, or you do not want the Switch to be
accessible outside your local network, you can leave this field unchanged.
This allows the entry of a VLAN name from which a management station (a computer) will
be allowed to manage the Switch using TCP/IP (in-band, or over the network).
Management stations that are on VLANs other than the one entered in the VLAN Name
field will not be able to manage the Switch in-band unless their IP addresses are entered in
the Management Station IP Addresses field. The default VLAN is named default and
contains all of the Switch's ports. There are no entries in the Management Station IP
Addresses table, by default − so any management station can access the Switch.
