5.3.4 Setting an IP Address
To obtain management access through the network, IP address information for
the ECN330-switch must be established. The assignment of an IP Address to
the ECN330-switch is done by assigning an IP Address to a VLAN interface, this
can be done in either of the following ways:
Manual — Input the information, including IP address and subnet mask. If the
management station is not in the same IP subnet as the ECN330-switch, the
default gateway router also needs to be specified.
Dynamic — The ECN330-switch sends IP configuration requests to BOOTP or
DHCP address allocation servers on the network.
Each VLAN interface on the ECN330-switch can be assigned its own IP
address. When no management VLAN has been defined, the ECN330-switch
can be managed through any of these IP addresses. For more secure
management access, a management VLAN should be defined, which restricts
management access to only the specified VLAN interface. Any IP address
assigned to the management VLAN can be used to manage the ECN330-
switch.
By default, the ECN330-switch is configured to operate in ECN330 mode (see
“Enabling the SBC to Access Advanced Management Tools” on page 74). The
factory defaults designate VLAN 246 for external management and VLAN 247
for internal management. VLAN 247 is already configured to obtain an IP
address using DHCP. If the ECN330-switch is configured for ECN330-switch
mode, then VLAN 246 is designated for external management and is configured
to obtain an IP address using DHCP. All other management VLANs are disabled.
5.3.4.1 Manual Configuration
The IP address, subnet mask and default gateway can be assigned manually to
the ECN330-switch. Valid IP addresses consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to
255, separated by periods. Anything not in this format is not accepted by the CLI
program.
Note: The IP address for the ECN330-switch is obtained through DHCP by
default.
