* This manual covers the LGB6026A and LGB6050A switches. Other than the
difference in the number of ports, there are no significant differences.
Therefore nearly all of the screen display examples are based on the
LGB6026A.

You must establish IP address information for the stack to obtain
management access through the network. This can be done in either of the
following ways:
◆
Manual — You have to input the information, including IP address and
subnet mask. If your management station is not in the same IP subnet
as the switch, you will also need to specify the default gateway router.
◆
Dynamic — The switch can send IPv4 configuration requests to BOOTP
or DHCP address allocation servers on the network. An IPv6 link local
address for use in a local network can be dynamically generated as
described in
"Obtaining an IPv6 Address" on page 77 .
The current software does not support DHCP for IPv6, so an IPv6 global
unicast address for use in a network containing more than one subnet
can only be manually configured as described in
"Assigning an IPv6
Address" on page 74 .

ONFIGURATION
You can manually assign an IP address to the switch. You may also need to
specify a default gateway that resides between this device and
management stations that exist on another network segment. Valid IPv4
addresses consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods.
Anything outside this format will not be accepted by the CLI program.
