Configuring an IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway Address
This procedure explains how to change the IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway address to the switch. Before performing the procedure, note the
following:
ˆ
An IP address and subnet mask are not required for normal network
operations of the switch. Values for these parameters are only required
if you want to remotely manage the device with a web browser.
ˆ
A gateway address is only required if you want to remotely manage
the device from a remote management station that is separated from
the switch by a router.
ˆ
To configure the switch to automatically obtain its IP configuration from
a DHCP server on your network, go to “Enabling and Disabling the
DHCP Client” on page 144.
ˆ
The initial assignment of an IP address must be made through a local
management session using the menus interface.
To change the switch’s IP configuration, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Basic Config menu, select IP Config .
The IP Configuration page is shown in Figure 36.

2. Change the IP configuration parameters by entering new information
in the fields:

This parameter displays the MAC address of the switch. You cannot
change this parameter.
