INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
CNGE2FE16MS
TECh SUPPORT: 1.888.678.9427
IP Configuration
Due to the foreseeable address exhaustion of IPv4, the IP configuration of the Ethernet switch
is designed to provide an interface for users to configure the switch running both IPv4 and IPv6
architecture.
IPv4
The IPv4 tab allows users to configure the switch to receive an IP address from DHCP server
or manually fill in
IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway
and IP addresses of the primary and the
secondary
DNS servers
.
»
DHCP Client
: Enable or disable the DHCP client function. When the DHCP Client function is
enabled, the CNGE2FE16MS will be assigned an IP address from the network DHCP server.
The default IP address will be replaced by the assigned IP address on DHCP server. After
users select
Apply
, a popup dialog informs the user that when the DHCP client is enabled, the
current IP will be lost and the user should find the new IP on the DHCP server
»
IP Address
: Assign the IP address for the CNGE2FE16MS. With the DHCP Client function
enabled, the switch is configured as a DHCP client and users don’t need to assign the IP
address that is assigned by the DHCP server. The default IP is 192.168.10.1 or the user has to
assign an IP address manually when DHCP Client is disabled.
»
Subnet Mask
: Assign the subnet mask to the IP address. If the DHCP Client function is
disabled, the user has to assign the subnet mask manually.
»
Gateway
: Assign the network gateway for the switch. If the DHCP Client function is disabled,
the user has to assign the gateway manually. The default gateway is 192.168.10.254.
»
DNS1
: The Domain Name Server (DNS) translates domain names into IP addresses. The
domain name is in alphabetic order, which is easy to remember. The Internet is based on IP
addresses. Therefore, every time you use a domain name, a DNS service must translate the
name into the corresponding IP address. For example, the domain name www.net.com might
translate to 192.168.10.1.
»
DNS2
: The backup for DNS1. When DNS1 cannot function, DNS2 will then replace DNS1.
»
When finished, select
Apply
to have the configuration take effect.
