Setting an IP Address You must establish IP address information for the switch to obtain management
access through the network. This can be done in either of the following ways:
◆ Manual — You have to input the information, including IP address and subnet
mask. If your management station is not in the same IP subnet as the switch,
you will also need to specify the default gateway router.
◆ Dynamic — The switch can send IPv4 configuration requests to BOOTP or
DHCP address allocation servers on the network, or can automatically generate
a unique IPv6 host address based on the local subnet address prefix received in
router advertisement messages. An IPv6 link local address for use in a local
network can also be dynamically generated as described in “Obtaining an IPv6
Address” on page 58.
DHCP for IPv6 can be used to acquire stateful address configuration
information depending on the advertisements received from other routers, and
subsequently from a DHCPv6 server. (For more information, see the description
for the “Restart DHCPv6” parameter under "Configuring IPv6 Interface Settings"
in the Web Management Guide.
Manual Configuration
You can manually assign an IP address to the switch. You may also need to specify a
default gateway that resides between this device and management stations that
exist on another network segment. Valid IPv4 addresses consist of four decimal
numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything outside this format will not be
accepted by the CLI program.
Note: The IPv4 address for VLAN 1 is obtained via DHCP by default.
