Configuring the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address
This procedure explains how to manually assign an 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 33.
To set the switch’s IP configuration, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type B to select Basic Switch Configuration .
