Default Gateway The IP address for the default gateway. A gateway is a router or a dedicated network device that enables the
switch to communicate with devices in other networks or subnetworks. The default gateway IP address
should be part of the same subnet as the switch IP address. The switch IP address and the default gateway IP
address cannot be the same.
If all of your devices are in the same network and a default gateway is not used, you do not need to enter an
IP address in this field. This field is enabled only if the IP Assignment mode is Static.
You must specify a default gateway if your network management station and the switch are in different
networks or subnetworks. Otherwise, the switch and your network management station cannot communicate.
Password The password for the switch follows these guidelines:
• Can have up to 63 alphanumeric characters
• Can start with a number
• Is case sensitive
• Can have embedded spaces.
• Cannot be a single digit
• Cannot contain a ? or a tab
• Does not allow spaces at the beginning or the end
This password is also used as the Control and Information Protocol (CIP) security password.
You must provide a password to the switch to secure the access to the Device Manager Web interface.
Confirm Password Enter the switch password again.
Switch Network Settings
Setting Description
CIP VLAN Settings
Setting description
CIP VLAN The VLAN on which CIP will be enabled. The CIP VLAN can be the same as the management VLAN or you can
isolate CIP traffic on another VLAN that is already configured on the switch.
Change the CIP VLAN settings
only if you want CIP traffic to be on a separate VLAN from the management VLAN. Existing settings might
have been set during the initial setup (done through the Express Setup process; refer to Initialize the Switch
with Express Setup on page 17).
The default ID is 1. The default name for the CIP VLAN is default.
IP Address The IP address is a unique identifier for the switch in a network. The format is a 32-bit numeric address
written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be from 0...255.
If the CIP VLAN is different from the management VLAN, you must specify an IP address for the CIP VLAN.
Make sure that the IP address that you assign to the switch is not being used by another device in your
network.
Subnet Mask List The subnet mask is the network address that identifies the subnetwork (subnet) to which the switch belongs.
Subnets are used to segment the devices in a network into smaller groups. The default is 255.255.255.0.
If the CIP VLAN is different from the management VLAN, you must specify a subnet mask for the CIP VLAN.
