2.4 Setting an IP Address
This section describes how to configure an IP interface for management access over the network.
Note: By default, DHCP provides the IP address for the switch.
To manually configure an address, you need to change the switch’s default settings (IP address 192.168.0.1
and netmask 255.255.255.0) to values that are compatible with your network. Establish a default gateway
between the switch and management stations that exist on another network segment.
You can manually configure a specific IP address, or direct the device to obtain an address from a BOOTP
or DHCP server. Valid IP addresses consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods.
You must establish IP address information for the switch to obtain management access through the network.
Do this in either of the two following ways:
Manual — Input the IP address and subnet mask. If your management station is not in the same IP subnet
as the switch, you also need to specify the default gateway.
Dynamic — The switch sends IP configuration requests to BOOTP or DHCP address allocation servers
on the network.
Command Attributes
Management VLAN – ID of the configured VLAN (1-4094, no leading zeroes). By default, all ports on the
switch are members of VLAN 1. You can attach the management station to a port belonging to any VLAN,
when the VLAN has an IP address.
IP Address Mode – Specifies how IP functionality is enabled, by manual configuration (Static), Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP), or Boot Protocol (BOOTP). If DHCP/BOOTP is enabled, IP does not
function until the server replies. Periodically, the switch sends broadcast requests for an IP address.
(DHCP/BOOTP values can include the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.)
IP Address – Address of the VLAN interface allowed management access. Valid IP addresses consist of
four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. (Default: 192.168.0.1)
Subnet Mask – 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)
MAC Address – The physical layer address for this switch.
