D-Link DES-3250TG Switch User Manual


 
D-Link DES-3250TG Standalone Layer 2 Switch
provide it with this information before using
the default or previously entered settings.
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.
Manual
Allows the entry of an IP 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. The fields which require entries
under this option are as follows:
IP Address
Determines the IP address used by the switch
for receiving SNMP and Telnet
communications. These fields should be of the
form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a
number (represented in decimal) between 0 and
255. This address should be a unique address
on a network assigned to you by the central
Internet authorities.
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.
Default 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.
VLAN Name
This allows the entry of a VLAN name from
which a management station (a computer) will
be allowed to manage the switch using TCP/IP
(in-band, or over the network). Management
stations that are on VLANs other than the one
entered in the VLAN Name field will not be
able to manage the switch in-band unless their
IP addresses are entered in the Management
Station IP Addresses field. The default VLAN
is named default and contains all of the
