This chapter describes how to configure a ConnectPort LTS product. It covers these topics:


"Alternate methods for assigning an IP address".


"Configuration through the web interface".

"Configuration through the command line".

"Configuration through Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)".

"Batch capabilities for configuring multiple devices".
The primary focus of this chapter is on configuring ConnectPort LTS products through the web
interface.
Alternate methods for assigning an IP address

Configure an IP address using DHCP

An IP address can also be configured using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
This procedure assumes that the ConnectPort LTS product is configured as a DHCP client. Since
this is the default configuration, this will be the case unless the configuration has been changed.
1. Make sure the ConnectPort LTS product is not powered on.
2. If desired, set up a permanent entry for the ConnectPort LTS product on a DHCP server. While
this is not necessary to obtain an IP address via DHCP, setting up a permanent entry means the
IP address will be saved after the device is rebooted.
3. Connect the ConnectPort LTS product to the network and power it on. The IP address
configured in step 2 is assigned automatically.

Configure an IP address using Auto-IP

The standard protocol Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA or Auto-IP) assigns the IP address
from the reserved IP addresses in Auto-IP. Use ADDP or DHCP to find the device and assign it a
new IP address that compatible with your network. Once the unit is plugged in, Auto-IP
automatically assigns the IP address.
