16 IP CONFIGURATION
This chapter describes how to configure an IP interface for management
access to the switch over the network. This switch supports both IP Version
4 and Version 6, and can be managed simultaneously through either of
these address types. You can manually configure a specific IPv4 or IPv6
address, or direct the switch to obtain an IPv4 address from a BOOTP or
DHCP server. An IPv6 address can either be manually configured or
dynamically generated.
This chapter provides information on network functions including:
◆ IPv4 Configuration – Sets an IPv4 address for management access.
◆ IPv6 Configuration – Sets an IPv6 address for management access.
SETTING THE SWITCH’S IP ADDRESS (IP VERSION 4)
Use the IP > General > Routing Interface (Add) page to configure an IPv4
address for the switch. An IPv4 address is obtained via DHCP by default for
VLAN 1. To configure a static address, you need to change the switch’s
default settings 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 no routing
protocols are enabled).
You can direct the device to obtain an address from a BOOTP or DHCP
server, or manually configure a static IP address. Valid IP addresses consist
of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything other
than this format will not be accepted.

COMMAND USAGE
◆ This section describes how to configure a single local interface for initial
access to the switch. To configure multiple IP interfaces, set up an IP
interface for each VLAN.
◆ Once an IP address has been assigned to an interface, routing between
different interfaces on the switch is enabled.
