Setting the IP Address
An IP address may be used for management access to the switch over your
network. By default, the switch uses DHCP to assign IP settings to VLAN
1 on the switch. If you wish to manually configure IP settings, you need to
set the IP address and netmask to values that are compatible with your
network. You may also need to a establish a default gateway between the
switch and management stations that exist on another network segment.
You may also need to a establish a default gateway between this device and
management stations that exist on another network segment.
Fields and Attributes
•
Management VLAN
– This is the only VLAN through which you
can gain management access to the switch. By default, all ports on the
switch are members of VLAN 1, so a management station can be
connected to any port on the switch. However, if other VLANs are
configured and you change the Management VLAN, you may lose
management access to the switch. In this case, you should reconnect
the management station to a port that is a member of the Management
VLAN.
•
IP Address Mode
– Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via
manual configuration (Static), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP), or Boot Protocol (BOOTP.) If DHCP/BOOTP is enabled,
IP will not function until a reply has been received from the server.
Requests will be broadcast periodically by the switch for an IP address.
(DHCP/BOOTP values can include the IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway.)
•
IP Address
– Address of the VLAN interface that is allowed
management access. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to
255, separated by periods.
•
Subnet Mask
– This mask identifies the host address bits used for
routing to specific subnets.
