5.3 IP Configuration
IP configuration is one of the most important configurations in the switch. Without the proper
setting, the network manager will not be able to manage or view the device. The switch supports
both manual IP address setting and automatic IP address setting via DHCP server. When IP
address is changed, you must reboot the switch so the setting takes effect and uses the new IP
for management access. The IP Configuration Menu is accessed from the System Menu.
When you click on System, the submenu commands are displayed. Click on IP to make
changes to the IP setting.

IP address from DHCP server, the device will stop the booting process. If the field is set to
“Disable”, you will have to input the IP address manually. For more details about IP address and
