Setting the Switch's IP Address
This section describes how to configure an initial IP interface for management
access over the network. The IP address for this switch is 192.168.2.10 by default.
To manually configure an address, you need to change the switch's default settings
(IP address 192.168.2.10 and netmask 255.255.255.0) to values that are compatible
with your network. You may also need to a establish a default gateway between the
switch and management stations that exist on another network segment (if routing is
not enabled on this switch).
Field Attributes
• DHCP Enabled – Check the box to enable DHCP. (Default: Enabled)
• LAN IP Address – Address of the VLAN interface that is allowed management
access. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by
periods. (Default 192.168.2.10)
• Subnet Mask – This mask identifies the host address bits used for routing to
specific subnets. (Default: 255.255.255.0)
• Gateway IP Address – IP address of the gateway router between this device and
management stations that exist on other network segments. (Default: 0.0.0.0)
• Management VLAN – ID of a configured VLAN (1-4094) through which you can
manage the switch. By default, all ports on the switch are members of VLAN 1.
However, if the management VLAN is changed, the management station must be
attached to a port belonging to this VLAN.
