Figure 4-2 IP Address Setting
The following entries are displayed on this screen:
IP Address Setting
DHCP Setting: Allows you to enable or disable the switch to serve as DHCP
client. If DHCP client is enabled, the switch will obtain the IP
address, subnet mask and default gateway from the DHCP server
automatically; otherwise, these three items should be configured
manually. By default, it is disabled.
IP Address: Specify the system IP address of the switch. The default system IP
address is 192.168.0.1 and you can change it appropriate to your
needs. The switch IP address must be compliant with the subnet
layout.
Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet mask of the switch. Subnet mask is an address
code that determines the size of the network. By default, the
switch uses 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask.
Default Gateway: Enter the default gateway of the switch. Gateway serves as the
default destination where the packet is to be forwarded when its
destination IP address is not within the switch’s subnet.
Note:
1. The switch only possesses an IP address. The IP address newly configured will replace the
original one.
2. Changing the IP address to a different IP segment will interrupt the network communication, so
please keep the new IP address in the same IP segment with the local network.
