The Switch's MAC address can also be found from the Web management program on the Switch Information (Basic
Settings) window on the Configuration menu.
The IP address for the Switch must be set before it can be managed with the Web-based manager. The Switch IP
address can be automatically set using BOOTP or DHCP protocols, in which case the actual address assigned to the
Switch must be known.
The IP address may be set using the Command Line Interface (CLI) over the console serial port as follows:
Starting at the command line prompt, enter the commands
Where the x's represent the IP address to be assigned to the IP interface named System and the y's represent the
corresponding subnet mask.
Alternatively, you can enter config ipif System ipaddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/z. Where the x's represent the IP
address to be assigned to the IP interface named System and the z represents the corresponding number of subnets
in CIDR notation.
The IP interface named System on the Switch can be assigned an IP address and subnet mask, and then be used to
connect a management station to the Switch's Telnet or Web-based management agent.
DES-3528:5#config ipif System ipaddress 10.90.90.90/255.0.0.0
Command: config ipif System ipaddress 10.90.90.90/8
Success.
DES-3528:5#
In the above example, the Switch was assigned an IP address of 10.90.90.90 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. (the
CIDR form was used to set the address (10.90.90.90/8). The system message Success indicates that the command
was executed successfully. The Switch can now be configured and managed via Telnet and the CLI or via the Web-
based management.
config ipif System ipaddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
