Setting an IP Address
You must establish IP address information for the switch to obtain
management access through the network. You can manually assign an IP
address to the switch. You may also need to specify a default gateway that
resides between this device and management stations that exist on another
network segment. Valid IP addresses consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to
255, separated by periods. Anything outside this format will not be
accepted by the configuration program.
Note: The IP address for this switch is unassigned by default.
Before you can assign an IP address to the switch, you must obtain the
following information from your network administrator:
• IP address for the switch
• Network mask for this network
• Default gateway for the network
