DES-3550 Fast Ethernet Layer 2 Switch
The Switch is also assigned a unique MAC address by the factory. This MAC address cannot be changed, and can be found
by entering the command "show switch" into the command line interface, as shown below.
Figure 4- 4. Show switch command
The Switch's MAC address can also be found from the Web management program on the Switch Information (Basic
Settings) window on the Configuration menu.
The IP address for the Switch must be set before it can be managed with the Web-based manager. The Switch IP address
can 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 be set using the Command Line Interface (CLI) over the console serial port as follows:
Starting at the command line prompt, 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.
Alternatively, you can enter 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.
The IP interface named System on 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 Telnet or Web-based management agent.
