For assigning an IP address to the switch, check the IP address of the network that will be
connected to the switch. Use the same network address and append your host address.
Figure 4.4 – IP Configuration
First, IP Address: as shown in the Figure 4.4, enter 192.168.1.1, for example. An IP address
such as 192.168.1.x must be set on your PC.
Second, Subnet Mask: as shown in the Figure 4.4, enter 255.255.255.0. Any subnet mask such
as 255.255.255.x is allowable in this case.
DNS:
The Domain Name Server translates the human readable machine name to IP address. Every
machine on the Internet has a unique IP address. A server generally has a static IP address. To
connect to a server, the client needs to know the IP of the server. However, generally the name
is used to connect to the server. Thus, the switch DNS client program (such as a browser) will
ask the DNS to resolve the IP address of the named server.
