ProSafe Plus Switch Utility
Switch Information
The Switch Information feature displays additional information about the selected switch. This
information varies depending on the switch model. If the selected switch supports the Switch
Information feature, you can view or set the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address.
DHCP Mode Selection
The Switch Information screen contains a field for DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) Mode selection. When you enable this setting, the switch obtains a network IP
address from a DHCP server in the network. Each time the switch is powered on or reset, it
requests an IP address from a DHCP Server in the network. This is called a Dynamic IP
address. If there is no DHCP server in the network, a time-out message is displayed. If the
switch fails to retrieve an IP address from a DHCP server, a default IP address of
192.168.0.239 is entered.
To enable DHCP operation:
1. Select System > Switch Information. The Switch Information screen displays.
2. In the DHCP Mode field, select Enable.
3. Click Apply.
The IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address fields are disabled (grayed out).
To disable DHCP address assignment, repeat the previous procedure and select
Disable. When you click Apply, the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address
information fields become active again.
