9. DHCP is enabled by default. If you have a DHCP server, an
IP address and Subnet Mask are assigned automatically.
Make a note of the IP address and skip to Step 12.
Otherwise, select “IP Configuration” from the menu. The IP
Configuration Menu will appear (see Figure 1-3).
10. To manually enter the IP address of the switch, you must
first disable DHCP. Then, select “Switch IP Address” from
the menu and enter the address to be assigned to the switch.
This should be an administratively assigned address. (See
“Configuring the IP Address” in Chapter 5.)

mask for the IP address entered in Step 10. If applicable,
also enter the Gateway IP address.
