Setting an IP Address
You must establish IP address information for the switch to obtain
management access through the network. This can be done in either of the
following ways:
Manual
— You have to input the information, including IP address and
subnet mask. If your management station is not in the same IP subnet as
the switch, you will also need to specify the default gateway router.
Dynamic
— The switch sends IP configuration requests to BOOTP or
DHCP address allocation servers on the network.
Note:
Only one VLAN interface can be assigned an IP address (the
default is VLAN 1). This defines the management VLAN, the only
VLAN through which you can gain management access to the
switch. If you assign an IP address to any other VLAN, the new IP
address overrides the original IP address and this becomes the new
management VLAN.
