The Switch's MAC address can also be found from 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:
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.
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 mask, and
then be used to connect a management station to the Switch's Telnet or Web-based management agent.
