You can use the console to manually configure an IP address, subnet mask,
and a gateway IP address (if needed). Or, you can use DHCP/Bootp to
configure IP from a DHCP or Bootp server. (To use the DHCP/Bootp option,
you must also configure the DHCP or Bootp server accordingly.)
Do one of the following:
To use the console, set the IP Config parameter to Manual and then
manually enter the IP address and subnet mask you want for the switch.
If you plan to use DHCP or Bootp, use the console to ensure that the IP

Operation” on page 6-10.
