Firmware Version
numbers are shown. This information is helpful
to keep track of PROM and Firmware updates and to obtain the

Configuring the Switch’s IP Address
The Switch needs to have an IP address assigned to it so that an In-Band network management system (for example, the Web
Manager
or Telnet) client can find it on the network. The
Basic Switch Setup
window allows you to change the settings for
the Ethernet interface used for in-band communication.
The fields listed under the
Current IP Settings
heading are those that are currently being used by the Switch. Those fields
listed under the
New Switch IP Setting
heading are those that will be used after clicking on the
Apply
button.
To set the Switch’s IP address:
Click the
Basic Switch Setup
link (in the Basic Setup folder) to open the menu illustrated below.
To manually assign the Switch’s IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address:
1. Select
Manual
from the
Get IP From
drop-down menu.
2. Enter the appropriate IP address and subnet mask. If you want to access the Switch from a different subnet from the
one it is installed on, enter the IP address of the gateway. If you will manage the Switch from the subnet on which it is
installed, you can leave the default address in this field.
3. If no VLANs have been previously configured on the Switch, you can use the default VLAN
−
named
default
. The
default VLAN contains all of the Switch ports as members. If VLANs have been previously configured on the
Switch, you will need to enter the name of the VLAN containing the port where the management station will operate.
