IP Addressing in a Stacking Environment
If you are installing the switch into a stack management environment, entering
an IP address may not be required. See "Stack Management" on page 9-2 for
more information.

Live (TTL)

The switch searches for the default gateway device through the primary
VLAN. By default, the DEFAULT_VLAN is the switch's primary VLAN.
However, you can use the CLI to select a different primary VLAN if more
than one VLAN exists on the switch. For more information, see "Port-
Based Virtual LANs (Static VLANs)" on page 9-47.
If you change the IP address through either Telnet access or the web
browser interface, the connection to the switch will be lost. You can
reconnect by either restarting Telnet with the new IP address or entering
the new address as the URL in your web browser.
To manually enter an IP address, subnet mask, set the IP Config parameter
to Manual and then manually enter the IP address and subnet mask values
you want for the switch.
To use DHCP or Bootp, use the menu interface to ensure that the IP Config
parameter is set to DHCP/Bootp, then refer to "DHCP/Bootp Operation" on
page 5-9.
