The IP Config tab includes a link to the following screen.
IP Address
IP Address
To manually configure IP settings, you need to set an IP address and subnet mask that is compatible with your
network. You may also need to establish a default gateway between the switch and management stations that
exist on another network segment.
An IP address may be used for management access to the switch over your network. You may also need to
establish a default gateway between the switch and management stations that exist on another network
segment.
The IP Address screen displays the following information
IP Address Mode. Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via manual configuration (Static), Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP), or Boot Protocol (BOOTP). If DHCP/BOOTP is enabled, IP will not function until a
reply has been received from the server. Requests will be broadcast periodically by the switch for an IP address.
(DHCP/BOOTP values can include the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.)
Host Name. Specifies the name of the switch. Enter the name into the textfield provided, up to 255 characters
long. (Default: None)
IP Address. Address of the VLAN interface that is allowed management access. Valid IP addresses consist of four
numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. (Default: 192.168.1.254)
Mask. This mask identifies the host address bits used for routing to specific subnets.
(Default: 255.255.255.0)
Default Gateway. IP address of the gateway router between this device and management stations that exist on
other network segments. (Default: 0.0.0.0)
Current Management Interface. ID of the configured VLAN (1-4094, no leading zeroes). By default, all ports on
the switch are members of VLAN 1. However, the management station can be attached to a port belonging to any
VLAN, as long as that VLAN has been assigned an IP address.
