Displaying the IP Address of the Local Interface
This procedure displays the IP address and subnet mask of the local
interface on the switch. The local interface is used for enhanced stacking
and remote management of the switch with a Telnet or SSH client, or a
web browser.
You cannot configure the local interface from the web browser interface.
You must use the menus interface or command line interface. For
background information, refer to “Planning for Remote Management” on
page 30.
To view the IP address and subnet mask of the local interface, perform the
following procedure:
1. From the home page, select Configuration.
The System page is displayed with the General tab selected by default,
as shown in Figure 5 on page 44. This procedure discusses the
parameters in the IP Configuration section of the web page.
Obtain IP Address from:
The options in this section indicate the source of the IP address of the
local interface. If DHCP or BOOTP is checked, the interface obtained
its IP address from a DHCP or BOOTP server on the network. If Static
is checked, the IP address was set manually.
IP Address
This parameter displays the IP address of the local management
interface. This address is either manually assigned to the interface or
obtained from a DHCP or BOOTP server.
Subnet Mask
This parameter specifies the subnet mask for the interface.
The IP address and subnet mask fields will be empty if no interface
has been designated as the local interface.
Default Gateway
For AT-9400 Series switches that support IPv4 routing, such as the
AT-9448Ts and AT-9448Ts/XP switches, this field displays the IP
address of the next hop of the switch’s default route. The switch uses
the default route when it receives a network packet for routing, but
cannot find a route for it in the routing table. This field will contain
0.0.0.0 if no default route is defined on the switch.
For AT-9400 Series switches that do not support IPv4 packet routing,
such as the AT-9424T/GB and AT-9424T/SP switches, this field
displays the default gateway address. This is the IP address of a router
interface on your network. The switch’s management software uses
