The Switch's MAC address can also be found from the Web management program on the
System Information
window
in the Configuration folder.
The IP address for the Switch must be set before it can be managed with the Web-based manager. The Switch IP
address can be automatically set using BOOTP or DHCP protocols, in which case the actual address assigned to
the Switch must be known.
The IP address may be set using the Command Line Interface (CLI) over the console serial port as follows:
Starting at the command line prompt, enter the commands
config ipif System ipaddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
Where the x's represent the IP address to be assigned to the IP interface named System and the y's represent the
corresponding subnet mask.
Alternatively, you can enter
config ipif System ipaddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/z
. Where the x's represent the IP
address to be assigned to the IP interface named System and the z represents the corresponding number of
subnets in CIDR notation.
The IP interface named System on the Switch can be assigned an IP address and subnet mask, and then be used to
connect a management station to the Switch's Telnet or Web-based management agent.
