Managing a Switch

3. Enter or change the parameters in the window as desired. Changes to
the parameters are activated immediately on the switch.
Note
If you are configuring the switch for the first time and the switch is
in a TCP/IP network, you must assign the switch an IP address and
subnet mask. These are the minimum parameters that you must
specify for a newly installed Ethernet switch in a TCP/IP network if
you intend to manage the switch using Telnet or a web browser.
You can either assign these IP parameters manually or you can
activate the DHCP option so that the switch obtains its IP
configuration automatically from a DHCP or BootP server.
The parameters in the IP Parameters window are described below:
IP address
This parameter specifies the IP address of the switch.
Subnet mask
This parameter specifies the subnet mask for the switch.
Gateway address
This is the default router IP address. This address is required if you
intend to manage the switch from a management station separated
from the switch by a router.
Domain name server (DNS)
This is the DNS IP address. This address is required if you are using this
service.
Default domain name
This is the domain name to which the switch belongs. This is
recommended if you are using DNS services.
Manager address
You can enter up to four IP addresses of network management
stations that will receive SNMP traps from the switch. The addresses
are optional.
