is disabled by default.

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
.
DNS2
- DNS2 is the backup for DNS1. If the DNS1 cannot function, the DNS2 will
replace DNS1.
