ETTINGS
Use the System > IP (Configure Interface – Add) page to configure an IPv4
address for the switch. An IPv4 address is obtained via DHCP by default for
VLAN 1. To configure a static address, you need to change the switch’s
default settings to values that are compatible with your network. You may
also need to a establish a default gateway between the switch and
management stations that exist on another network segment.
You can direct the device to obtain an address from a BOOTP or DHCP
server, or manually configure a static IP address. Valid IP addresses consist
of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything other
than this format will not be accepted.

These parameters are displayed:
VLAN – ID of the configured VLAN (1-4093). By default, all ports on
the switch are members of VLAN 1. However, the management station
can be attached to a port belonging to any VLAN, as long as that VLAN
has been assigned an IP address.
IP Address Mode – Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via
manual configuration (Static), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP), or Boot Protocol (BOOTP). If DHCP/BOOTP is enabled, IP will
not function until a reply has been received from the server. Requests
will be broadcast periodically by the switch for an IP address. DHCP/
BOOTP responses can include the IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway. (Default: DHCP)
IP Address Type – Specifies a primary or secondary IP address. An
interface can have only one primary IP address, but can have many
secondary IP addresses. In other words, secondary addresses need to
be specified if more than one IP subnet can be accessed through this
interface. For initial configuration, set this parameter to Primary.
(Options: Primary, Secondary; Default: Primary)
Note that a secondary address cannot be configured prior to setting the
primary IP address, and the primary address cannot be removed if a
secondary address is still present. Also, if any router or switch in a
network segment uses a secondary address, all other routers/switches
in that segment must also use a secondary address from the same
network or subnet address space.
IP Address – Address of the VLAN to which the management station is
attached. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to 255,
separated by periods. (Default: None)
Subnet Mask – This mask identifies the host address bits used for
routing to specific subnets. (Default: None)
Restart DHCP – Requests a new IP address from the DHCP server.
