16 IP CONFIGURATION
This chapter describes how to configure an initial 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 global unicast or link-local address
can be manually configured, or a link-local address can be 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)
This section describes how to configure an initial IPv4 interface for
management access over the network, or for creating an interface to
multiple subnets. This switch supports both IPv4 and IPv6, and can be
managed through either of these address types. For information on
configuring the switch with an IPv6 address, see "Setting the Switch’s IP
Address (IP Version 6)" on page 695.
Use the IP > General > Routing Interface (Add Address) 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.
