Extreme Networks EAS 100-24t Switch Software Manual

NOTE
The Switch's factory default IP address is 0.0.0.0 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 and a default gateway of
0.0.0.0. To access the web configuration, the you must first configure an IP address for the Switch using the
Console Connection.
To use the BOOTP or DHCP protocols to assign the Switch an IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway address, select either BOOTP or DHCP.
In this window, the following parameters can be configured:
Click on the Apply button to accept the changes made.
Parameter Description
Static Allows the entry of an IPv4 address, Subnet Mask, and a Default Gateway for
the Switch. These fields should be of the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each
xxx is a number (represented in decimal form) between 0 and 255. This
address should be a unique address on the network assigned for use by the
network administrator.
DHCP The Switch will send out a DHCP broadcast request when it is powered up.
The DHCP protocol allows IP addresses, network masks, and default
gateways to be assigned by a DHCP server. If this option is set, the Switch
will first look for a DHCP server to provide it with this information before using
the default or previously entered settings.
BOOTP The Switch will send out a BOOTP broadcast request when it is powered up.
The BOOTP protocol allows IP addresses, network masks, and default
gateways to be assigned by a central BOOTP server. If this option is set, the
Switch will first look for a BOOTP server to provide it with this information
before using the default or previously entered settings.
IP Interface The current IP Interface being assigned an IP address on this window.
Management VLAN Name This allows the entry of a VLAN Name from which a management station will
be allowed to manage the Switch using TCP/IP (in-band via web manager or
Telnet). Management stations that are on VLANs other than the one entered
here will not be able to manage the Switch in-band unless their IP addresses
are entered in the Security IP Management window. If VLANs have not yet
been configured for the Switch, the default VLAN contains all of the Switch's
ports. There are no entries in the Security IP Management table, by default,
so any management station that can connect to the Switch can access the
Switch until a management VLAN is specified or Management Station IP
Addresses are assigned.
Interface Admin State Toggle between Enabled and Disabled. This must be set to Enabled when
setting an IP address on this window.
IPv4 Address Enter the desired IPv4 address to be set. The default address is 0.0.0.0.
Subnet Mask A Bitmask that determines the extent of the subnet that the Switch is on.
Should be of the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a number
(represented in decimal) between 0 and 255. The value should be 255.0.0.0
for a Class A network, 255.255.0.0 for a Class B network, and 255.255.255.0
for a Class C network, but custom subnet masks are allowed.
Gateway IP address that determines where packets with a destination address outside
the current subnet should be sent. This is usually the address of a router or a
host acting as an IP gateway. If your network is not part of an intranet, or you
do not want the Switch to be accessible outside your local network, you can
leave this field unchanged.
