3.3 Set a Static IP Address or use DHCP
The first step is to allocate an IP address to the switch. To do this, go to the
“Configuration/System/IP” menu in the navigation tree.
Static IP Address
In the above image, one can see that the IP address of the switch is 192.168.1.1, that the subnet
mask is 24 (255.255.255.0) and that it belongs to VLAN 1. This means that VLAN 1 is the
management VLAN.
If the switch is to be allocated a new IP address, the existing IP address is simply overwritten
and then confirmed by clicking on the “Apply” icon. The same applies, if the subnet mask needs
to be changed.
DHCP
If the switch is to be integrated into a network where a DHCP server allocates the IP addresses,
the check box underneath “IPv4 DHCP” needs to be checked.
The DHCP server will then allocate an IP address to the switch within the pre -defined range.
There are now two ways of finding out which IP address has been allocated.
a) Software tool, e.g.: SoftPerfect Network Scanner

b) Console port
This method requires using the console cable supplied with the switch. The console port of the
switch is an RS232 interface, i.e. a PC/laptop with a serial interface or a USB-RS232 adapter is
required.
To configure the switch via the CLI port, we recommend using the “PuTT Y” software.
