Dynamic IP Address (DHCP): Enables the IP address to be configured
automatically by the DHCP server.
Select this option if you have a DHCP
server that can assign the Switch an IP
address, subnet mask, default gateway
IP address, and a domain name server
IP address automatically. Selecting this
field disables the IP Address, Subnet
mask, and Gateway fields.
Static IP Address:
Allows the entry of an IP address,
subnet mask, and a default gateway
for the Switch. Select this option if
you don’t have a DHCP server or if
you wish to assign a static IP address
to the Switch.
IP Address: This field allows the entry of an
IPv4 address to be assigned to this
IP interface. Enter the IP address
of your Switch in dotted decimal
notation. The factory default value
is:
192.168.0.239
.
Subnet Mask: A Bitmask that determines the
extent of the subnet that the Switch
is on. This should be labeled in the
form: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each
xxx is a number (represented in
decimals) 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. Enter the IP
subnet mask of your Switch in dotted
decimal notation. The factory default
value is: 255.255.255.0 .
Gateway: Enter an 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 blank.
DNS Server (Domain Name
System):
Used for mapping a domain name
to its corresponding IP address and
vice versa. Enter a DNS IP address
in order to be able to use a domain
name to access the Switch instead
of using an IP address.
