Figure 5-13: IP Configuration
This menu manages the IP related information of the system.
IP Assignment Mode
• Manual – The user manually enters IP related information
• BootP – Bootstrap Protocol, which allows the FSM726 switch to discover its own IP address
from a BootP server on the network
• DHCP – The switch accepts DHCP broadcast from a DHCP server and automatically
configures IP related information
Note: In DHCP mode, if the switch fails to get a DHCP assignment, the switch defaults to
192.168.0.1 as its IP address.
To enable quick and easy set-up, the default setting is DHCP. However, DHCP addresses change
over time, and you need to know the IP address of your switch so that you can remotely manage it.
After completing the initial setup, change the IP assignment mode from DHCP to manual.
If you choose Manual mode, enter site-specific IP address, Gateway address and Net mask.
