Configuring the Switch From
the Console
Internet (IP) Service
For managing the Switch 208/224 from an SNMP network management station
over an IP network, or for using the switch console through a Telnet session,
use the IP Service screen to configure:
IP address, subnet mask, and (optionally) the gateway address for the
switch so that it can be managed in an IP network
The time server information (used if you want the switch to get its time
information from another device operating as a Timep server)
You can manually configure an IP address, subnet mask, and a Gateway IP
address by setting the IP Config parameter to Manual. Or, you can use
Bootp to configure IP for the switch from a Bootp server. In this case you must
also configure your Bootp server accordingly. If you plan to use Bootp, refer
to “Bootp Operation” in chapter 6, “Using SNMP to Monitor and Manage the
Switch”. Otherwise, set the IP Config parameter to Manual and then
manually enter the IP address and subnet mask you want for the Switch 208/
224.
Figure 4-6. Example of the IP Service Configuration Screen (Default Values)
The default setting for Time
Protocol Enabled is No.
Setting it to Yes as shown
here, then pressing [v] or [Tab]
causes the Timep Server
Address and Timep Poll
Interval parameters to
appear. For descriptions of
these parameters, select the
Help action for this screen.
