DGS-3200 Series Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet Managed Switch
7
NOTE:
The Switch’s factory default IP address is 10.90.90.90 with a
subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 and a default gateway of 0.0.0.0.
To use the DHCP or BOOTP protocols to assign the Switch an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address:
Use the radio button at the top of the window to choose either DHCP or BOOTP. This selects the method the Switch assigns an IP
address on the next reboot.
The following parameters may be configured or viewed:
Parameter Description
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 you do not want the Switch to be accessible outside your local
network, you can leave this field unchanged.
Management
VLAN Name
This allows the entry of a VLAN name 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
Trusted Host
window (
Security > Trusted Host)
. 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 Trusted Host 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.
