IP Address Configuration
This menu allows you to change the
IP address
for the switch as well as reconfigure IP
settings. Once the IP address has been set, the switch must be rebooted.
DHCP
- Disable
or enable the DHCP client function. When DHCP function is enabled,
the system will assign IP addresses to devices from the local DHCP server.
Therefore, you do not have to assign the IP addresses.

– Use this option to assign the switch IP address. The default IP address
is 192.168.16.1.
Subnet Mask
- Use this option to assign the switch IP subnet mask.
Gateway
– Use this option to assign the switch gateway. The default gateway value
is 192.168.16.254.
DNS1
– DNS1 is short for Domain Name Server. DNS is an
Internet
service that
translates
domain names
into IP addresses. Because
domain names
are
alphabetic, they are easier to remember, however, t
he Internet
is based on
IP
addresses
. Each time a user accesses the
domain name of a web page,
a
DNS
service
must translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For example,
the
domain name
www.net.com
might translate to
192.168.1.1
.
