Parameter Default Description
Interface Type Ethernet Indicates IP over Ethernet.
IP Address 10.1.0.1 IP address of the switch you are managing when
accessing it over the network. The switch supports SNMP
over UDP/IP transport protocol. In this environment, all
systems on the Internet, such as network interconnection
devices and any PC accessing the switch (or running
management software) must have an IP address.
Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, of 0 to 255,
and separated by periods. Anything outside of this format
will not be accepted by the configuration program.
Subnet Mask 255.255.0.0 Subnet mask of the switch. This mask identifies the host
address bits used for routing to specific subnets.
Default
Gateway
0.0.0.0 Gateway used to pass trap messages from the switch’s
agent to the management station. Note that the gateway
must be defined if the management station is located in a
different IP segment.
IP State USER-
CONFIG
Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via manual
configuration, or set by Boot Protocol (BootP). Options
include:
USER-CONFIG - IP functionality is enabled based on the
default or user specified IP
configuration.
BOOTP Get IP - IP is enabled but will not function until a
BootP reply has been received. BootP
requests will be periodically broadcast
by the switch in an effort to learn its IP
address. (BootP values can include the
IP address, default gateway, and
subnet mask.)
