First-Time Configuration
Setup Part 4: Internet Protocol Configuration
If BOOTP was enabled in Part 1, skip to the “Setup Part 5: Final Steps” section. Otherwise, if
you disabled BOOTP, the system prompts for IP parameters.
IP Interfaces
IP interfaces are used for defining subnets to which the GbE2 Interconnect Switch belongs.
Up to 256 IP interfaces can be configured on the GbE2 Interconnect Switch. The IP address
assigned to each IP interface provides the GbE2 Interconnect Switch with an IP presence on
your network. No two IP interfaces can be on the same IP subnet. The interfaces can be used
for connecting to the GbE2 Interconnect Switch for remote configuration, and for routing
between subnets and VLANs (if used).
1. Set the IP interface to configure, or skip interface configuration at the prompt:
IP Config:
IP interfaces:
Enter interface number (1-256):
If you wish to configure individual IP interfaces, enter the number of the IP interface you
wish to configure. If you want to skip IP interface configuration, press the
Enter
key
without typing an interface number and go to the “Default Gateways” section.
2. For the specified IP interface, enter the IP address in dotted decimal notation:
Current IP address: 0.0.0.0
Enter new IP address:
To keep the current setting, press the
Enter
key.
3. At the prompt, enter the IP subnet mask in dotted decimal notation:
Current subnet mask: 0.0.0.0
Enter new subnet mask:
To keep the current setting, press the
Enter
key.
4. At the prompt, enter the broadcast IP address in dotted decimal notation:
Current broadcast address: 255.255.255.255
Enter new broadcast address:
To keep the current setting, press the
Enter
key.
5. If configuring VLANs, specify a VLAN for the interface.
The following prompt displays if you selected to configure VLANs in Part 1:
Current VLAN: 1
Enter new VLAN [1-4095]:
Enter the number for the VLAN to which the interface belongs, or press the
Enter
key
without specifying a VLAN number to accept the current setting.
