Internet (IP) Service
For managing the Switch 208/224 from an SNMP network management station
over an IP network, or for using the switch console through a Telnet session,
use the IP Service screen to configure:
■
IP address, subnet mask, and (optionally) the gateway address for the
switch so that it can be managed in an IP network
■
The time server information (used if you want the switch to get its time
information from another device operating as a Timep server)
You can manually configure an IP address, subnet mask, and a Gateway IP
address by setting the
IP Config
parameter to
Manual
. Or, you can use
Bootp to configure IP for the switch from a Bootp server. In this case you must
also configure your Bootp server accordingly. If you plan to use Bootp, refer
to “Bootp Operation” in chapter 6, “Using SNMP to Monitor and Manage the
Switch”. Otherwise, set the
IP Config
parameter to
Manual
and then
manually enter the IP address and subnet mask you want for the Switch 208/
224.

Address and Timep Poll
Interval parameters to
appear. For descriptions of
these parameters, select the
Help action for this screen.
