Ip Address Assignment - D-Link DES-3526 Manual

DES-3526 / DES-3526DC Fast Ethernet Layer 2 Switch
MIBs
The Switch in the Management Information Base (MIB) stores management and counter information.
The Switch uses the standard MIB-II Management Information Base module. Consequently, values for
MIB objects can be retrieved from any SNMP-based network management software. In addition to the
standard MIB-II, the Switch also supports its own proprietary enterprise MIB as an extended
Management Information Base. Specifying the MIB Object Identifier may also retrieve the proprietary
MIB. MIB values can be either read-only or read-write.

IP Address Assignment

Each Switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with an SNMP
network manager or other TCP/IP application (for example BOOTP, TFTP). The Switch's default IP
address is 10.90.90.90. You can change the default Switch IP address to meet the specification of your
networking address scheme.
The Switch is also assigned a unique MAC address by the factory. This MAC address cannot be
changed, and can be found by entering the command "show switch" into the command line interface,
as shown below.
Figure 4- 3. Show switch command
The Switch's MAC address can also be found from the Web management program on the Switch
Information (Basic Settings) window on the Configuration menu.
The IP address for the Switch must be set before it can be managed with the Web-based manager. The
Switch IP address can be automatically set using BOOTP or DHCP protocols, in which case the actual
address assigned to the Switch must be known.
The IP address may be set using the Command Line Interface (CLI) over the console serial port as
follows:
Starting at the command line prompt, enter the commands
config ipif System ipaddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
Where the x's represent the IP address to be assigned to the IP interface named System and the y's
represent the corresponding subnet mask.
