Chapter 2: Basic Switch Parameters
40 Section I: Basic Operations
Note
The following three parameters are used to manually assign the
switch an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. An
alternative method to configuring these parameters is with a DHCP
or BOOTP server, which can assign values to these parameters
automatically. See “Activating the BOOTP or DHCP Client Software”
on page 41, and information in Chapter 3, “Basic Switch
Parameters” in the AT-S63 Management Software Menus Interface
User’s Guide.
IP Address
This parameter specifies the IP address of the switch. You must
specify an IP address if you want the switch to function as the Master
switch of an enhanced stack. The IP address must be entered in the
format: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. The default value is 0.0.0.0.
Subnet Mask
This parameter specifies the subnet mask for the switch. You must
specify a subnet mask if you assigned an IP address to the switch. The
subnet mask must be entered in the format: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. The
default value is 255.255.0.0.
Default Gateway
This parameter specifies the default router’s IP address. This address
is required if you intend to remotely manage the switch from a
management station that is separated from the switch by a router. The
address must be entered in the format: xxx:xxx:xxx:xxx. The default
value is 0.0.0.0.
3. Click Apply to activate your changes on the switch.
Note
A change to any of the above parameters is immediately activated
on the switch.
A change to the IP address of the switch results in the loss of a
remote management session. You can restart the management
session using the switch’s new IP address.
4. From the Configuration menu, select the Save Config option to
permanently save your changes. (This option is not displayed if there
are no changes to save.)
