Chapter 14 | IP Configuration
Setting the Switch’s IP Address (IP Version 4)
– 527 –
◆ IP Address Type – Specifies a primary or secondary IP address. An interface can
have only one primary IP address, but can have many secondary IP addresses.
In other words, secondary addresses need to be specified if more than one IP
subnet can be accessed through this interface. For initial configuration, set this
parameter to Primary. (Options: Primary, Secondary; Default: Primary)
Note that a secondary address cannot be configured prior to setting the
primary IP address, and the primary address cannot be removed if a secondary
address is still present. Also, if any router or switch in a network segment uses a
secondary address, all other routers/switches in that segment must also use a
secondary address from the same network or subnet address space.
◆ IP Address – Address of the VLAN to which the management station is
attached. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by
periods. (Default: None)
Note: You can manage the switch through any configured IP interface.
◆ Subnet Mask – This mask identifies the host address bits used for routing to
specific subnets. (Default: None)
◆ Restart DHCP – Requests a new IP address from the DHCP server.
