Switch Configuration
The Switch option is used to configure switch settings. This page allows you to
configure several major features of the switch.
Figure 4-3. Switch Configuration
You can modify the following information:
Setting Description
IP Address This is the in-band managment IP address allocated to the default
subnet and default VLAN. Factory defaults will have all ports on the
default VLAN; thus, this IP address will be associated with all ports
initially.
Default Gateway This field lets you enter the IP address of the gateway (i.e., next hop
router). This will only take effect after the switch is reset. It can be left
as 0.0.0.0 if the switch will not be connected to the external Internet.
Spanning Tree The Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) is a link management protocol
that provides path redundancy while preventing undesirable loops in
the network. For an Ethernet network to function properly, only one
active path can exist between two devices. This field lets you choose
to Enable or Disable the Spanning Tree Algorithm.
BOOTP Bootstrap Protocol. This protocol allows the switch to discover it’s
own IP address, the IP address of a BOOTP server on the network,
and a file to be loaded into memory. This option is not yet
implemented.
GVRP GARP VLAN Registration Protocol. You can choose to Enable or
Disable this protocol.
IGMP Snooping Internet Group Management Protocol. IGMP Snooping allows the
switch to forward IGMP packets based on their content. You can
choose to Enable or Disable this protocol.
