DGS-3024 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Manual
Use the Get IP From pull-down menu to choose from BOOTP or DHCP . This selects how the Switch will be assigned an IP
address on the next reboot.
The IP Address Settings options are:
Parameter Description
BOOTP
The Switch will send out a BOOTP broadcast request when it is powered up. The BOOTP protocol
allows IP addresses, network masks, and default gateways to be assigned by a central BOOTP
server. If this option is set, the Switch will first look for a BOOTP server to provide it with this
information before using the default or previously entered settings.
DHCP
The Switch will send out a DHCP broadcast request when it is powered up. The DHCP protocol
allows IP addresses, network masks, and default gateways to be assigned by a DHCP server. If
this option is set, the Switch will first look for a DHCP server to provide it with this information before
using the default or previously entered settings.
Manual
Allows the entry of an IP address, Subnet Mask, and a Default Gateway for the Switch. These fields
should be of the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a number (represented in decimal form)
between 0 and 255. This address should be a unique address on the network assigned for use by
the network administrator.
Subnet Mask
A Bitmask that determines the extent of the subnet that the Switch is on. Should be of the form
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a number (represented in decimal) between 0 and 255. The
value should be 255.0.0.0 for a Class A network, 255.255.0.0 for a Class B network, and
255.255.255.0 for a Class C network, but custom subnet masks are allowed.
Default
Gateway
IP address that determines where packets with a destination address outside the current subnet
should be sent. This is usually the address of a router or a host acting as an IP gateway. If your
network is not part of an intranet, or the user does not want the Switch to be accessible outside the
local network, this field is to be left unchanged.
VID
This allows the entry of a VLAN ID from which a management station will be allowed to manage the
Switch using TCP/IP (in-band via web manager or Telnet). Management stations that are on VLANs
other than the one entered here will not be able to manage the Switch in-band unless their IP
addresses are entered in the Security IP Management menu. If VLANs have not yet been
configured for the Switch, the default VLAN contains all of the Switch's ports. There are no entries
in the Security IP Management table, by default, so any management station that can connect to
the Switch can access the Switch until a management VLAN is specified or Management Station IP
Addresses are assigned.
