IP Configuration
This function allows users to configure the switch’s IP address settings.
DHCP Client
: You can elect to
Enable
or
Disable
the DHCP Client function. When the DHCP
Client function is enabled, an IP address will be assigned to the switch from the network’s DHCP
server. In this mode, the default IP address will therefore be replaced by the one assigned by the
DHCP server. If the DHCP Client is disabled, then the IP address that you specify will be used
instead.
IP Address
: You can assign the IP address that your network has reserved for your switch. If the
DHCP Client function is enabled, you do not need to define an IP address for the switch, as it will
be overwritten by the DHCP server and shown here. The default IP is 192.168.10.1.
Subnet Mask
: You can assign the subnet mask for the IP address here. If the DHCP Client
function is enabled, you don’t need to assign the subnet mask.
Gateway
: You can assign the gateway for the switch here. The default gateway is
192.168.10.254.
Once you finish your configuration, click on
Apply
to apply your settings.
SNTP
The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) is an adaptation of the Network Time Protocol (NTP),
used to synchronize computer clocks on the internet. You can configure the SNTP settings here
for the purpose of synchronizing the clocks of several switches on the network. SNTP is
maintained by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
SNTP Client
: Select Enable to acquire the current time from the SNTP server, or Disable to
disable this feature.
Daylight Saving Time
: You can activate the Daylight Savings Time function here.
UTC Time-zone
: Select the time zone where the switch is located. The following reference table
lists time zones for different locations:
