Setting the Switch’s IP Address
This section describes how to configure an IP interface for management
access over the network. The IP address for this switch is unassigned by
default. To manually configure an address, you need to change the switch’s
default settings (IP address 0.0.0.0 and netmask 255.0.0.0) to values that
are compatible with your network. You may also need to a establish a
default gateway between the switch and management stations that exist on
another network segment.
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)
