Configuring the IP address
You can configure the device with a static IP address, or you can use a Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) server to set the IP address of the switch. DHCP is enabled by default. The device
supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Using DHCP to set the IP address
When using DHCP, the switch obtains its IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address from the
DHCP server. The DHCP client can only connect to a DHCP server that is on the same subnet as the
switch. If your DHCP server is not on the same subnet as the switch, use a static IP address.
