You can manually configure a specific IP address, or direct the device to
obtain an address from a DHCP server. Valid IPv4 addresses consist of four
decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything other than this
format will not be accepted by the CLI program.

The following parameters are displayed on the IP & Time page:
IP Configuration
DHCP Client – Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via
◆
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). If DHCP is enabled, IP
will not function until a reply has been received from the server.
Requests will be broadcast periodically by the switch for an IP address.
DHCP values can include the IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway. (Default: Enabled)
IP Address – Address of the VLAN specified in the VLAN ID field. This
◆
should be the VLAN to which the management station is attached. Valid
IP addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods.
(Default: 192.168.2.10)
◆ IP Mask – This mask identifies the host address bits used for routing
to specific subnets. (Default: 255.255.255.0)
IP Router – IP address of the gateway router between the switch and
◆
management stations that exist on other network segments.
VLAN ID – ID of the configured VLAN. By default, all ports on the
◆
switch are members of VLAN 1. However, the management station can
be attached to a port belonging to any VLAN, as long as that VLAN has
been assigned an IP address. (Range: 1-4095; Default: 1)
SNTP Server – Sets the IPv4 address for a time server (NTP or SNTP).
◆
The switch attempts to periodically update the time from the specified
server. The polling interval is fixed at 15 minutes.
DNS Server – A Domain Name Server to which client requests for
◆
mapping host names to IP addresses are forwarded.
IP DNS Proxy Configuration
IP DNS Proxy – If enabled, the switch maintains a local database
◆
based on previous responses to DNS queries forwarded on behalf of
attached clients. If the required information is not in the local database,
the switch forwards the DNS query to a DNS server, stores the
response in its local cache for future reference, and passes the
response back to the client.
