Table 11 - Express Setup Fields
Field Description
Network Settings
Host Name The name of the device.
Management Interface (VLAN ID) The name and ID of the management VLAN through which the switch is managed. The management VLAN is the broadcast domain through
which management traffic is sent between specific users or devices. It provides broadcast control and security for management traffic that
must be limited to a specific group of users, such as the administrators of your network. It also provides secure administrative access to all
devices in the network.
Choose an existing VLAN as the management VLAN. The default management VLAN ID is 1 and the VLAN name is default.
Valid IDs for single-mode Express Setup: 1…1001
Valid IDs for multi-mode Express Setup: 1…4096
IMPORTANT: Be sure that the switch and your network management station are in the same VLAN. Otherwise, you lose management
connectivity to the switch.
IP Assignment Mode The IP Assignment mode determines whether the switch IP information is manually assigned (static) or is automatically assigned by a
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. The default is Static.
We recommend that you click Static and manually assign the IP address for the switch. You can then use the same IP address whenever you
want to access Device Manager.
If you click DHCP, the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway to the switch. Unless restarted, the
switch continues to use the DHCP-assigned information, and you are able to use the DHCP-assigned address to access Device Manager.
For a manually assigned IP address in a network that uses a DHCP server, make sure that the IP address is not within the range of addresses
that the DHCP server assigns. Otherwise, IP address conflicts can occur between the switch and another device.
IP Address The IP address and associated subnet mask are unique identifiers for the switch in a network:
• The IP address format is a 32-bit numeric address that is written as four numbers that are separated by periods. Each number can be from
0…255.
• The subnet mask is the network address that identifies the subnetwork (subnet) to which the switch belongs. Subnets are used to segment
the devices in a network into smaller groups. The default is 255.255.255.0.
IMPORTANT: If you run multi-mode Express Setup in Medium Press mode, the IP Address field displays the address received from the DHCP
server. If you change the address, the connection drops. To re-establish the connection with the new address, close your web browser and go
to the address you specified.
Make sure that the IP address that you assign to the switch is not assigned to another device in your network. The IP address and the default
gateway cannot be the same.
Default Gateway (optional) The IP address for the default gateway. A gateway is a router or a dedicated network device that enables the switch to communicate with
devices in other networks or subnetworks. The default gateway IP address must be part of the same subnet as the switch IP address. The
switch IP address and the default gateway IP address cannot be the same.
If all of your devices are in the same network and a default gateway is not used, you do not need to enter an IP address in this field. This field is
enabled only if the IP assignment mode is Static.
If your network management station and the switch are in different networks or subnetworks, you must specify a default gateway. Otherwise,
the switch and your network management station cannot communicate with each other.
NTP Server The IP address of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. NTP is a networking protocol for clock synchronization between computer systems
over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks.
User Enter the user name.
Password, Confirm Password
(initial setup only) The password for the switch can have up to 63 alphanumeric characters, can start with a number, is case-sensitive, and can have embedded
spaces. The password cannot be one digit, it cannot contain a ? or a tab, and it does not allow spaces at the beginning or the end. The default is
switch .
To complete initial setup, you must change the password from the default password, switch .
This password is also used as the Control Industrial Protocol (CIP) security password. We recommend that you provide a password to the switch
to secure access to Device Manager.
Advanced Settings
Enable CIP VLAN Check the checkbox to enable CIP on a VLAN. You can specify the settings required for CIP or check the Same As Management VLAN checkbox.
CIP VLAN The VLAN on which Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) is enabled. The CIP VLAN can be the same as the management VLAN or you can isolate
CIP traffic on another VLAN that is already configured on this device.
IP Address The IP address and subnet mask for the CPI VLAN if the CIP VLAN differs from the management VLAN. The format is a 32-bit numeric address
that is written as four numbers that are separated by periods. Each number can be from 0…255.
Make sure that the IP address that you assign to this device is not being used by another device in your network.
Same As Management VLAN Check the checkbox to make the settings for the CIP VLAN the same as the management VLAN.
