DES-3326 Layer 3 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide
The Get IP From: <Manual> options are:
Parameter Description
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.
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:
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 interface 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.
Management VID
This allows the entry of a VLAN ID (VID) 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 Management VID field
will not be able to manage the switch in-band unless their IP
addresses are entered in the Management Station IP Addresses
field. Any VID that has been configured on the switch can be entered
in this field.
