DES-3200-10/18/28/28F Layer 2 Ethernet Managed Switch User Manual
4. If no VLANs have been previously configured on the Switch, you can use the default Management VLAN
Name. The default VLAN contains all of the Switch ports as members. If VLANs have been previously
configured on the Switch, the Management VLAN Name of the VLAN that contains the port connected to the
management station will have to be entered to access the Switch.
5. Use the drop-down Interface Admin State menu to select Enabled if it has not already been done.
NOTE: The Switch's factory default IP address is 10.90.90.90 with a
subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 and a default gateway of 0.0.0.0.
To use the BOOTP or DHCP protocols to assign the Switch an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address,
select either BOOTP or DHCP.
The IP Address Settings options are:
Parameter Description
Static
Allows the entry of an IPv4 address, Subnet Mask, and a Default Gateway for the Switch. These
fields should be of the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a number (represented in decimal
form) between 0 and 255. This address should be a unique address on the network assigned for
use by the network administrator.
DHCP
The Switch will send out a DHCP broadcast request when it is powered up. The DHCP protocol
allows IP addresses, network masks, and default gateways to be assigned by a DHCP server. If
this option is set, the Switch will first look for a DHCP server to provide it with this information
before using the default or previously entered settings.
BOOTP
The Switch will send out a BOOTP broadcast request when it is powered up. The BOOTP
protocol allows IP addresses, network masks, and default gateways to be assigned by a central
BOOTP server. If this option is set, the Switch will first look for a BOOTP server to provide it with
this information before using the default or previously entered settings.
IP Interface
The current IP Interface being assigned an IP address on this window.
Management
VLAN Name
This allows the entry of a VLAN Name from which a management station will be allowed to
manage the Switch using TCP/IP (in-band via web manager or Telnet). Management stations that
are on VLANs other than the one entered here will not be able to manage the Switch in-band
unless their IP addresses are entered in the Security IP Management window. If VLANs have
not yet been configured for the Switch, the default VLAN contains all of the Switch's ports. There
are no entries in the Security IP Management table, by default, so any management station that
can connect to the Switch can access the Switch until a management VLAN is specified or
Management Station IP Addresses are assigned.
Interface Admin
State
Toggle between Enabled and Disabled. This must be set to Enabled when setting an IP address
on this window.
IPv4 Address
Enter the desired IPv4 address to be set. The default address is 10.90.90.90.
Subnet Mask
A Bitmask that determines the extent of the subnet that the Switch is on. Should be of the form
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a number (represented in decimal) between 0 and 255. The
value should be 255.0.0.0 for a Class A network, 255.255.0.0 for a Class B network, and
255.255.255.0 for a Class C network, but custom subnet masks are allowed.
Gateway
IP address that determines where packets with a destination address outside the current subnet
should be sent. This is usually the address of a router or a host acting as an IP gateway. If your
network is not part of an intranet, or you do not want the Switch to be accessible outside your
local network, you can leave this field unchanged.
