xStack DGS-3400 Series Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet Managed Switch
IP Address Assignment
An IP Address must be assigned to each switch, which is used for communication with an SNMP network manager or other
TCP/IP application (for example BOOTP, TFTP). The Switch's default IP address is 10.90.90.90. The user may change the default
Switch IP address to meet the specification of your networking address scheme.
The Switch is also assigned a unique MAC address by the factory. This MAC address cannot be changed, and can be found by
entering the command "
show switch " into the command line interface, as shown below.
Figure 4- 3. “show switch” command
The Switch's MAC address also appears in Switch Information menu of the web-based management interface. The IP address for
the Switch must be set before using 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 command:
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, the user 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, which can then be used to
connect a management station to the Switch's Telnet or Web-based management agent.
