4.3.1 Configure IP Address
Figure 5 displays the Configure IP Address menu with its default values. The address
can be assigned in either of two ways.
By default, the switch uses a fixed IP address. And as long as the FIXED option is
selected in the Assigned by field, the user must fill in the IP Address, Subnet Mask and
Default Gateway.
The switch can have its IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway assigned
automatically by a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server if DHCP is
selected in the Assigned by field.
When the Apply option is exercised, the IP configuration is set to become effective and a
reboot confirmation screen pops up. If the Yes option is exercised, the switch software
restarts and the Login screen appears. If the No option is exercised, IP configuration
aborts. If the switch is set to use a DHCP server, it will try to contact a DHCP server. If
a DHCP server is not found within two minutes, the message
“No Server has been found. Set IP manually”
will display for 5 seconds and then the Login screen will appear. In this case, the user
must set the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway manually by using the
FIXED option. If a DHCP server is found (usually within 20 seconds), the Configure IP
Address screen will display the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway that
have been assigned by the DHCP.
