as a decimal value, separated by a decimal point
In-Band Switch
IP Address The in-band IP address of the BayStack 450 switch. This field is not required for the
operation of the stack. This field can not use the same IP address used for the stack.

as a decimal value, separated by a decimal point
Note: When the IP address is entered in the In-Band IP Address field, and the In-Band
Subnet Mask field value is not present, the software provides an in-use default value for
the In-Band Subnet Mask field that is based on the class of the IP address entered in the
In-Band IP Address field.
In-Band Subnet
Mask The subnet address mask associated with the in-band IP address shown on the screen
(see Note above). Network routers use the subnet mask to determine the network or
subnet address portion of a host’s IP address. The bits in the IP address that contain the
network address (including the subnet) are set to 1 in the address mask, and the bits
that contain the host identifier are set to 0.
Default Value 0.0.0.0 (no subnet mask assigned)
Range Four-octet dotted-decimal notation, where each octet is represented
as a decimal value, separated by a decimal point
