To modify the settings shown:
1. Use the Down Arrow key to highlight the row that contains the parameters you want to change, and
then press Enter. A screen similar to the following appears, with the highlight in the IP Address
field.
The available options are:
IP Address: The IP address of the Switch for this VLAN.
IP Subnet Mask: The subnet mask of the IP.
Frame Type: Either Ethernet II or Ethernet SNAP. Default is Ethernet II.
BOOTP: Specify how the IP address of the Switch for this VLAN is assigned. Default is
None for manually configuring. You can also specify BOOTP or DHCP to get IP address.
Please note that you should setup a BOOTP server or DHCP server on this VLAN network.
Proxy ARP: When a node in the attached subnetwork does not have routing or a default
gateway configured, ARP Proxy can be used to forward an ARP request to a remote
subnetwork. When the Switch receives an ARP request for a remote network and ARP Proxy
is enabled, it determines if it has the best route to the remote network, and then answers the
ARP request by sending its own MAC address to the requesting node. That node then sends
traffic to the Switch, which in turn uses its own routing table to forward the traffic to the remote
destination. End stations that require Proxy ARP must view the entire network as a single
network. These nodes must therefore use a smaller subnet mask than that used by the Switch
or other relevant network devices.
RIP Setting: Disable RIP or use RIP-1 / RIP-2.
