Fallback IP Address:

Users can configure the IP settings and fill in new values. Then, click
<Apply> button to update.

Default: 192.168.1.1

Fallback Subnet Mask:

Subnet mask is made for the purpose to get more network address
because any IP device in a network must own its IP address, composed
of Network address and Host address, otherwise can’t communicate with
other devices each other. But unfortunately, the network classes A, B,
and C are all too large to fit for almost all networks, hence, subnet mask
is introduced to solve this problem. Subnet mask uses some bits from
host address and makes an IP address looked Network address, Subnet
mask number and host address. It is shown in the following figure. This
reduces the total IP number of a network able to support, by the amount
of 2 power of the bit number of subnet number (2^(bit number of subnet
number)).

Subnet mask is used to set the subnet mask value, which should be the
same value as that of the other devices resided in the same network it
attaches.

For more information, please also see the Section 2-1-4 “IP Address
Assignment” in this manual.

Default: 255.255.255.0

Fallback Gateway:

Set an IP address for a gateway to handle those packets that do not
meet the routing rules predefined in the device. If a packet does not meet
the criteria for other pre-defined path, it must be forwarded to a default
router on a default path. This means any packet with undefined IP
address in the routing table will be sent to this device unconditionally.

Default: 192.168.1.254

Management VLAN:

Show the management VLAN number.
