Setting the Switch’s IP Address
This section describes how to configure an IP interface for management
access over the network. The IP address for this switch is obtained via
DHCP by default. To manually configure an address, you need to change
the switch’s default settings to values that are compatible with your
network. You may also need to a establish a default gateway between the
switch and management stations that exist on another network segment.
You can manually configure a specific IP address, or direct the device to
obtain an address from a BOOTP or DHCP server. Valid IP addresses
consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything
outside this format will not be accepted by the CLI program.
Command Attributes
• Management VLAN – ID of the configured VLAN (1-4093). By
default, all ports on the stack are members of VLAN 1. However, the
management station can be attached to a port belonging to any VLAN,
as long as that VLAN has been assigned an IP address.
• IP Address Mode – Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via
manual configuration (Static), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP), or Boot Protocol (BOOTP). If DHCP/BOOTP is enabled, IP
will not function until a reply has been received from the server.
Requests will be broadcast periodically by the switch for an IP address.
(DHCP/BOOTP values can include the IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway.)
• IP Address – Address of the VLAN to which the management station
is attached. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to 255,
separated by periods. (Default: 0.0.0.0)
• Subnet Mask – This mask identifies the host address bits used for
routing to specific subnets. (Default: 255.0.0.0)
• Gateway IP Address – IP address of the gateway router between the
stack and management stations that exist on other network segments.
(Default: 0.0.0.0)
