The switch supports both DHCP and static IP
configuration. DHCP is off by default. It needs a valid configuration for the DNS-server to resolve the configured NTP-
server to get proper date/time information. The switch will function properly without this, but will not be able show the
date correctly in the monitoring screen. Please make sure the chosen IP-address and netmask are correct before saving
the settings, as the switch will no longer respond to the old settings. Note that the same usually applies when changing
from static configuration to DHCP. Enabling DHCP requires that a DHCP server is reachable on the same network as the
switch. The switch will distribute its configured hostname to the DHCP server. The hostname is usually equal to the serial
number for newer switches. It is usually “ixs600” for older switches.
On the configuration tab, please enter IP-settings suitable for your network. Ask your systems administrator for the
correct configuration on your network.
The network adapter’s hardware address is available on the monitoring page.
Press ‘Save configuration’
when done editing the settings.
After this, you should be able to access the web GUI normally on your network using the new IP-address or a named alias.
The web GUI will allow you to monitor port and fan-status, update the firmware-images available on the switch, and
program the switch EEPROMs.
