You must establish IP address information for the stack to obtain

management access through the network. This can be done in either of the

following ways:

Manual — You have to input the information, including IP address and

subnet mask. If your management station is not in the same IP subnet

as the stack's master unit, you will also need to specify the default

gateway router.

Dynamic — The switch can send IPv4 configuration requests to BOOTP

or DHCP address allocation servers on the network. An IPv6 link local

address for use in a local network can be dynamically generated as

described in

"Obtaining an IPv6 Address" on page 94

.

The current software does not support DHCP for IPv6, so an IPv6 global

unicast address for use in a network containing more than one subnet

can only be manually configured as described in

"Assigning an IPv6

Address" on page 91

.

You can manually assign an IP address to the switch. You may also need to

specify a default gateway that resides between this device and

management stations that exist on another network segment. Valid IPv4

addresses consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods.

Anything outside this format will not be accepted by the CLI program.
