50 Switch Management and Operating Concepts
Setting an IP Address
The IP address for the switch must be set before it can be
managed with the web-based manager. The switch IP address
may be automatically set using BOOTP or DHCP protocols, in
which case the actual address assigned to the switch must be
known.
The IP address may alternatively be set using the
Command Line Interface (CLI) over the console serial port
as follows:
1. Starting at the command line prompt DES3326S4#
enter the commands config ipif System
ipaddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy.
Where the x’s represent the IP address to be
assigned to the IP interface named System and the
y’s represent the corresponding subnet mask.
2. Alternatively, you can enter DES3326S4# enter
the commands config ipif system ipaddress
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/z. Where the x’s represent the IP
address to be assigned to the IP interface named
System and the z represents the corresponding
number of subnets in CIDR notation.
Using this method, the switch can be assigned an IP address
and subnet mask which can then be used to connect a
management station to the switch’s web-based management
agent.
Traps
Traps are messages that alert you of events that occur on the
Switch. The events can be as serious as a reboot (someone
