and reset the switch. The switch will go through the reset sequence and you will return to
the login prompt.
Login again and go to the IP Configuration menu. Make a note of the IP Address in use.
This will be needed to access the switch from the network.
) Note: If Spanning Tree Protocol is enabled, the DHCP system will wait until the initial
configuration of the Spanning Tree is complete before attempting to obtain an IP Address
from the DHCP Server. The Login screen will alert on this status. Wait until the alert is
gone to look for the IP Address.
) Note: If the DHCP Server lease to the IP Address could not be renewed after the expiry
time, the system will disable the DHCP protocol and disable network access. No attempt
will be made to look for DHCP servers after the expiration. The switch will have to be
reset in order to restart the DHCP discovery.
1.6 Manual IP Address Configuration
If you are not using DHCP, you will have to configure the IP Address manually. Please use
the following procedure to configure the IP Address Parameters manually.
Select 2 to enter the IP Address. The IP Address must be entered in the well known dotted
quad format (like 192.168.1.1). The displayed IP Address will immediately change to the
new value. However, the network stack will not use the new IP Address until the changes
are saved and the switch is reset.
Select 3 to enter the Netmask. The notation is similar to the IP Address
Select 4 to enter the default gateway, if you will be accessing the switch from another
network through a gateway.
Select 5 to save the changes and reset the switch. The switch will go through the reset
sequence and you will return to the login prompt.
It is a good idea to go to the IP Configuration screen to make sure that the parameters are
correct and the IP Address in use is the same as the IP Address you have configured. Please
make note of the IP Address for future use.
) Note: If DHCP is ENABLED, the switch will first try to obtain an IP Address through
DHCP. If the attempt is unsuccessful, the manually configured IP Address will be used.
