Chapter 3: Basic Switch Parameters

42

Section I: Basic Features

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. Click Save Changes to permanently save your changes. (This button

is not displayed if there are no changes to save.)
