Internet (Ip) Service Features - HP J3245A Installation And Configuration Manual

Internet (IP) Service Features

Enables you to configure:
IP address, subnet mask, and (optionally) the gateway address for the
switch so that it can be managed in an IP network
The time server information (used if you want the switch to get its time
information from another device operating as a Timep server)
You can manually configure an IP address, subnet mask, and a Gateway IP
address by setting the IP Config parameter to Manual. Or, you can use
Bootp to configure IP for the switch from a Bootp server. In this case you must
also configure your Bootp server accordingly. If you plan to use Bootp, refer
to appendix E, "Bootp Operation". Otherwise, set the IP Config parameter
to Manual and then manually enter the IP address and subnet mask you want
for the Switch 800T.
Figure 3-7. Example of the IP Service Configuration Screen
If VLANs are configured, then enable IP on a "per VLAN" basis. This is because
each VLAN is a separate network and requires a unique IP address, plus a
subnet mask. A gateway (IP) address is optional. For more on VLANs, refer
to "Virtual LAN (VLAN) Features" on page 3-11 and in chapter 7, "Advanced
Concepts".
