4.3 Route Management
4.3.1 IPv4 Interface Configuration
This section describes how to configure an IPv4 interface for management access over the network.
Route Management > IPv4 Interface Configuration page is used to configure an IPv4 address for the switch.
VLAN ID of the configured VLAN (1-4093). By default, all ports on the switch are members of VLAN 1. However, the
management station can be attached to a port belonging to any VLAN, as long as that VLAN has been assigned an IP address.
Mode Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via manual configuration (User Specified), Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP), or Boot Protocol (BOOTP). If DHCP/BOOTP is enabled, IP will not function until a reply has been received
from the server. Requests will be broadcast periodically by the switch for an IP address. DHCP/BOOTP responses can include
the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. (Default: DHCP)
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)
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.
