An IP address may be used for management access to the switch over your

network. An IP address is obtained via DHCP by default for VLAN 1.

You can manually configure a specific IP address, or direct the switch to

obtain an address from a BOOTP or DHCP server when it is powered on.

You may also need to a establish a default gateway between this device and

management stations that exist on another network segment.
