Installing and Configuring the Edge Switch 2/24
53 Edge Switch 2/24 Installation Guide
Configure Switch Network Information
The Edge Switch 2/24 is delivered with the following default network addresses:
■
MAC address —the media access control (MAC) address is programmed
into FLASH memory on the CTP card at the time of manufacture. The MAC
address is unique for each Edge Switch, and should not be changed. The
address is in
xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx
format. The
xxx
is a hexadecimal
pair.
■
IP address —the factory preset default Internet Protocol (IP) address is
10.1.1.10. The default IP address is also 10.1.1.10.
If Reset Configuration is selected from the Element Manager application,
the Edge Switch resets to the default address of 10.1.1.10.
If multiple Edge Switches are installed on the same LAN, each Edge Switch
(and the HAFM appliance) must have a unique IP address. One Edge Switch
can use the factory-set address, but the addresses of the remaining Edge
Switches must be changed.
■
Subnet mask —the default subnet mask is 255.0.0.0. If the switch is installed
on a complex public LAN with one or more routers, the address may require
change.
■
Gateway address —the default gateway address is 0.0.0.0. If the switch is
installed on a dedicated LAN with no connection through a router, the address
does not require change. If the switch is installed on a public LAN (corporate
intranet), the gateway address must be changed to the address of the corporate
intranet’s local router.
Verify that the type of LAN installation with the customer’s network
administrator. If one switch is installed on a dedicated LAN, network addresses do
not require change.
Changing the Switch Address
If multiple switches are installed or a public LAN segment is used, network
addresses must be changed to conform to the customer’s LAN addressing scheme.
The following items are required to perform this task.
■
A local workstation (desktop or notebook computer) with:
— Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, Windows XP,
Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0 operating system.
