Configuring an IP Address and Switch Name

The procedure in this section explains how to manually assign an IP
address, subnet mask, and gateway address to the switch using a local or
Telnet management session. Initially, it must be done from the local
management interface. (If you want the switch to obtain its IP
configuration from a DHCP or BOOTP server on your network, go to the
procedure Activating the BootP and DHCP Services on page 50.)

In addition, this procedure explains how to assign a name to the switch,
along with other optional information, such as the name of the
administrator responsible for maintaining the unit and the location of
the switch.

To manually set a switch’s IP address, perform the following procedure:

1. From the Main Menu, type 4 to select Administration Menu.

The Administration Menu is shown in Figure 4.
