address. For this to take effect, the switches in the stack must be
booted within 15sec of one another.
IP Address
Each switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for
communication with an SNMP network manager or other TCP/IP
application (for example BOOTP, TFTP). The switch does not have
