Chapter 5 System IP Configuration
5.1 System IP Overview
5.1.1 Management VLAN
Before performing remote management such as Telnet and web management, the IP
address of the switch has to be configured first. For the Quidway series Layer 2
Ethernet switch, only one VLAN interface can be configured with an IP address, and the
VLAN that corresponds to this interface becomes the management VLAN.
5.1.2 IP Address
I. IP address classification and indications
IP address is a 32-bit address allocated to the devices which access into the Internet. It
consists of two fields: net-id field and host-id field. There are five types of IP address.

Five classes of IP address
Where, Class A, Class B and Class C are unicast addresses, while Class D addresses
are multicast ones and class E addresses are reserved for special applications in future.
The first three types are commonly used.
The IP address is in dotted decimal format. Each IP address contains 4 integers in
dotted decimal notation. Each integer corresponds to one byte, e.g.10.110.50.101.
