You can manually configure a specific IP address, or direct the device to
obtain an address from a BOOTP or DHCP server. Valid IP addresses
consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything
outside this format will not be accepted by the CLI program.
Command Attributes
•Management VLAN – 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.
• 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.)
• 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: 0.0.0.0)
• Subnet Mask – This mask identifies the host address bits used for
routing to specific subnets. (Default: 255.0.0.0)
• 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)
• MAC Address – The physical layer address for this switch.
