The network interface is the logical interface used for in-band connectivity with the switch via
any of the switch's front panel ports. The configuration parameters associated with the
switch's network interface do not affect the configuration of the front panel ports through
which traffic is switched or routed
To access the switch over a network you must first configure it with IP information (IP
address, subnet mask, and default gateway). You can configure the IP information using any
of the following:
• BOOTP
• DHCP
• Terminal interface via the EIA-232 port
