The Getting Started pages allow you to enter basic setup information for
the stack. As you go through the pages, you are asked to enter:
1 A descriptive name for the stack.
2 Whether you want to allocate IP information for the stack, or whether
you want a BOOTP server (if you have one) to allocate the information
automatically.
If you choose to allocate IP information yourself, you are prompted to
enter the following information:
■
An IP address for the stack. For more information about IP addresses,
see
“Managing a Switch Over the Network” on page 38 .
■
A subnet mask for the stack. For more information about subnet
masks, see
“Subnets and Using a Subnet Mask” on page 39 .
■
An IP address for the default router, if one exists on your network.
If you choose to allocate IP information using a BOOTP server, no prompts
are displayed.
