DES-3226S Layer 2 Switch CLI Reference

Figure 1-2. Boot Screen

The switch’s MAC address can also be found in 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:

1. 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.

2. Alternatively, you can enter config ipif System ipaddress

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/z. Where the x’s represent the IP address to be

assigned to the IP interface named System and the z represents the

corresponding number of subnets in CIDR notation.
