See the base physical address of the switch module.
See the IP address for the switch module. To set the IP address, refer to
Section
5.2.1. The IP address can also be set through Runtime IP
Address Discovery.
Runtime IP Address Discovery enables the switch module to
automatically accept an IP address from a Boot Strap Protocol (BootP)
server on the network without requiring a user to enter an IP address
through Local Management.
See the subnet mask for the switch module. A subnet mask "masks
out" the network bits of the IP address by setting the bits in the mask to
1 when the network treats the corresponding bits in the IP address as
part of the network or subnetwork address, or to 0 if the corresponding
bit identifies the host. When an IP address is entered in the IP Address
field, the Subnet Mask field automatically changes to the default subnet
mask for that IP address. For details about how to change the subnet
mask from its default value, refer to
See the default gateway for the switch module. This field is not defined
until an appropriate value is entered. For details about why and how to
set the Default Gateway, refer to
See the TFTP Gateway IP address for the switch module. To set the
TFTP Gateway IP address, refer to
