network administrator. The fields which require entries under this option are
as follows:
Subnet Mask
A Bitmask that determines the extent of the subnet that the Switch is on.
Should be of the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a number
(represented in decimal) between 0 and 255. The value should be 255.0.0.0
for a Class A network, 255.255.0.0 for a Class B network, and 255.255.255.0
for a Class C network, but custom subnet masks are allowed.
Default Gateway
IP address that determines where packets with a destination address outside
the current subnet should be sent. This is usually the address of a router or a
host acting as an IP gateway. If your network is not part of an intranet, or you
do not want the Switch to be accessible outside your local network, you can
leave this field unchanged.
VLAN Name
This allows the entry of a VLAN Name from which a management station will
be allowed to manage the switch using TCP/IP (in-band via web manager or
Telnet). Management stations that are on VLANs other than the one entered
in the VLAN Name field will not be able to manage the switch in-band unless
their IP addresses are entered in the Security IP Management menu. If
VLANs have not yet been configured for the switch, The default VLAN Name
contains all of the Switch’s ports. There are no entries in the Security IP
Management table, by default − so any management station that can connect
to the Switch can access the Switch until either a management VLAN is
specified or Management Station IP Addresses are assigned.
Setting the Switch’s IP Address using the Console Interface
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 IP address for the Switch must be set before it can be managed with the Web-
b
ased
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 por
t
as follows:
Starting at the command line prompt, enter the commands confi
g
ipif S
y
stem 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.
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.
The IP interface named System on the Switch can be assigned an IP address and subnet mas
k
which can then be used to connect a management station to the Switch’s Telnet or Web-
b
ase
d
management agent.
The system message Success indicates that the command was executed successfully. The
Switch can now be configured and managed via Telnet and the CLI or via the Web-
b
ased
management agent using the above IP address to connect to the Switch.
