ARAMETERS
These parameters are displayed in the web interface:
◆
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 – Specfies a primary or seconday 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 in a network
segment uses a secondary address, all other routers in that segment
must also use a secondary address from the same network or subnet
address space.
◆
IP Address – IP Address of the VLAN. Valid IP addresses consist of
four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. (Default: 0.0.0.0)

You can manage the switch through any configured IP interface.
◆ Subnet Mask – This mask identifies the host address bits used for
routing to specific subnets.
◆ Restart DHCP – Requests a new IP address from the DHCP server for
all enabled VLANs.
