ONFIGURATION

This chapter describes how to configure an initial IP interface for

management access to the switch over the network. This switch supports

both IP Version 4 and Version 6, and can be managed simultaneously

through either of these address types. You can manually configure a

specific IPv4 or IPv6 address or direct the switch to obtain an IPv4 address
from a BOOTP or DHCP server when it is powered on. An IPv6 global

unicast or link-local address can be manually configured, or a link-local

address can be dynamically generated.

This chapter provides information on network functions including:

◆

IPv4 Configuration

– Sets an IPv4 address for management access.

◆

IPv6 Configuration

– Sets an IPv6 address for management access.

Use the IP > General > Routing Interface (Add Address) page to configure

an IPv4 address for the switch. An IPv4 address is obtained via DHCP by

default for VLAN 1. To configure a static 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 (if no routing

protocols are enabled).

You can direct the device to obtain an address from a BOOTP or DHCP

server, or manually configure a static IP address. Valid IP addresses consist

of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything other

than this format will not be accepted.

This section describes how to configure a single local interface for initial

access to the switch. To configure multiple IP interfaces, set up an IP

interface for each VLAN.

◆

Once an IP address has been assigned to an interface, routing between

different interfaces on the switch is enabled.
