Manage the Switch via the Device Manager Web Interface Chapter 4

IP Address

The IP address and associated subnet mask are unique identifiers for the switch in a network:

The IP address format is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be from

0…255.

The subnet mask is the network address that identifies the subnetwork (subnet) to which the switch belongs. Subnets are

used to segment the devices in a network into smaller groups. The default is 255.255.255.0.

This field is enabled only if the IP Assignment mode is Static.

Make sure that the IP address that you assign to the switch is not being used by another device in your network. The IP address
and the default gateway cannot be the same.

Default Gateway (optional)

The IP address for the default gateway. A gateway is a router or a dedicated network device that enables the switch to

communicate with devices in other networks or subnetworks. The default gateway IP address must be part of the same subnet
as the switch IP address. The switch IP address and the default gateway IP address cannot be the same.
If all of your devices are in the same network and a default gateway is not used, you do not need to enter an IP address in this
field. This field is enabled only if the IP assignment mode is Static.

You must specify a default gateway if your network management station and the switch are in different networks or

subnetworks. Otherwise, the switch and your network management station cannot communicate with each other.

NTP Server

The IP address of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. NTP is a networking protocol for clock synchronization between

computer systems over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks.

Advanced Settings

CIP VLAN

The VLAN on which Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) is enabled. The CIP VLAN can be the same as the management VLAN or

you can isolate CIP traffic on another VLAN that is already configured on this device.

IP Address

The IP address and subnet mask for the CIP VLAN if the CIP VLAN is different from the management VLAN. The format is a 32-bit

numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be from 0…255.
Make sure that the IP address that you assign to this device is not being used by another device in your network.

Same As Management VLAN

Indicates whether the settings for the CIP VLAN are the same as the management VLAN.

Telnet, CIP and Enable Password (optional)

The password used for Telnet and CIP security.

Confirm Password
