Default Gateway — The IP address of a router for remote management of the device. The address must be
entered in the format: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. The default value is 0.0.0.0.
Note
Packets are forwarded to the default IP when frames are sent to a remote network via the default gateway.
The configured IP address must belong to the same subnet as one of the IP interfaces.
The DHCP Configuration section of the contains the following fields:
•
DHCP Configuration — Indicates if the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is enabled.
–
Enable — DHCP dynamically assigns IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing,
a device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network. If the DHCP client
software is activated, the device immediately begins to query the network for a DHCP server. The device
continues to query the network for its IP configuration until it receives a response. If the device and IP
address are manually assigned, that address is deleted and replaced by the IP address received from
the DHCP server.
–
Disable — Disables DHCP on the device. In this case, the device, following reset, checks if the IP
address is already defined in the Startup Configuration. If not, the device tries to receive an IP address
from a BootIP server until either an IP address is received or the user defines the IP address manually.
•
Mac Address Aging Time — The time interval an inactive dynamic MAC address can remain in the MAC
address table before it is deleted. The default time is 300 seconds, and the range is 10-630.
•
Jumbo Frame State — Current state of Jumbo Frame support in device. The possible field values are:
–
Enabled — Switch forwards Jumbo Frames.
–
Disabled — Switch does not forward Jumbo Frames.
•
Jumbo Frame After Reset — Enables or disables Jumbo Frames on all device ports (packet size of up to 10
Kb is supported). Jumbo Frames enable the transportation of identical data in fewer frames, ensuring less
overhead, lower processing time, and fewer interruptions. Jumbo Frames are typically used during server-to-
server transmissions. Changing Jumbo Frame status requires system reboot. Jumbo Frames are supported
on GE ports only. The possible field values are:
–
Enabled — Switch forwards Jumbo Frames.
–
Disabled — Switch does not forward Jumbo Frames.
