Configuring the Switch
3-14
Setting the Switch’s IP Address
This section describes how to configure an initial IP interface for management
access over the network. The IP address for this switch is unassigned by default. To
manually configure an address, you need to change the switch’s default settings
(IP address 0.0.0.0 and netmask 255.0.0.0) 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 (if routing is not
enabled on this switch).
You can manually configure a specific IP address, or direct the device to obtain an
address from a BOOTP or DHCP server. Valid IP addresses consist of four decimal
numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything outside this format will not be
accepted by the CLI program.
Command Usage
• This section describes how to configure a single local interface for initial access to
the switch. To configure multiple IP interfaces on this switch, you must set up an
IP interface for each VLAN (page 3-115).
• To enable routing between the different interfaces on this switch, you must enable
IP routing (page 3-114).
• To enable routing between the interfaces defined on this switch and external
network interfaces, you must configure static routes (page 3-128) or use dynamic
routing; i.e., either RIP (page 3-130) or OSPF (page 3-140).
• The precedence for configuring IP interfaces is the IP / General / Routing Interface
menu (page 3-115), static routes (page 3-128), and then dynamic routing.
Command Attributes
• Management VLAN – ID of the configured VLAN (1-4093, no leading zeroes). By
default, all ports on the switch are members of VLAN 1. However, the management
station can be attached to a port belonging to any VLAN, as long as that VLAN has
been assigned an IP address.
•
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.
(Default: 0.0.0.0)
•
Subnet Mask
– This mask identifies the host address bits used for routing to
specific subnets. (Default: 255.255.255.0)
•
Gateway IP Address
– IP address of the gateway router between this device and
management stations that exist on other network segments. (Default: 0.0.0.0)
•
MAC Address
– The physical layer address for this switch.
•
Restart DHCP
– Requests a new IP address from the DHCP server.
