Setting the Switch's IP Address, Mask and Gateway
The Switch is shipped with the these defaults:
IP address
192.168.111.1(255.255.255.0)
Gateway address
192.168.111.2 (255.255.255.0)
Important:
IP information applies to all switches in the stack.
●
The default gateway is used in both Layer 2 and Layer 3 configurations to resolve addresses not handled
by RIP or attached devices. You must change these defaults to the valid IP address for the Switch. If you
don't, the Switch continues to issue ARP requests from the default VLAN every 2 seconds.
●
You can set the Switch to receive its IP address and subnet mask from a DHCP server. The Default
Gateway must be changed manually.
●
To change these default settings, you can either Telnet into the Switch using these default settings, or change
them using a management console. These settings are changed using the Console version of the BitStorm L3S
Series Device Manager, the Switch's built-in management software.
Setting the IP address, subnet Mask and default gateway
Select System Configuration from the BitStorm L3S Series Device Manager Console Main Menu to
display the System Configuration screen shown below.

To have the Switch receive its IP address and subnet mask from a DHCP server, select On in the
