LABEL DESCRIPTION
Domain Name
Server
DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its
corresponding IP address and vice versa. Enter a domain name server IP
address in order to be able to use a domain name instead of an IP address.
Default
Management
Specify which traffic flow ( In-Band or Out-of-band ) the Switch is to send
packets originating from itself (such as SNMP traps) or packets with unknown
source.
Select
Out-of-band to have the Switch send the packets to the out-of-band
management port. This means that device(s) connected to the other port(s) do
not receive these packets.
Select
In-Band to have the Switch send the packets to all ports except the out-
of-band management port to which connected device(s) do not receive these
packets.
In-Band Management IP Address
DHCP Client Select this option if you have a DHCP server that can assign the Switch an IP
address, subnet mask, a default gateway IP address and a domain name server
IP address automatically.
Static IP Address Select this option if you don’t have a DHCP server or if you wish to assign static
IP address information to the Switch. You need to fill in the following fields when
you select this option.
IP Address Enter the IP address of your Switch in dotted decimal notation for example
192.168.1.1.
IP Subnet Mask Enter the IP subnet mask of your Switch in dotted decimal notation for example
255.255.255.0.
Default Gateway Enter the IP address of the default outgoing gateway in dotted decimal notation,
for example 192.168.1.254.
VID Enter the VLAN identification number associated with the Switch IP address.
This is the VLAN ID of the CPU and is used for management only. The default is
"1". All ports, by default, are fixed members of this "management VLAN" in order
to manage the device from any port. If a port is not a member of this VLAN, then
users on that port cannot access the device. To access the Switch make sure
the port that you are connected to is a member of Management VLAN.
Out-of-band Management IP Address
IP Address Enter the IP address of your Switch in dotted decimal notation for example
192.168.0.1.
If you change this IP address, make sure the computer connected to this
management port is in the same subnet before accessing the Switch.
Subnet Mask Enter the IP subnet mask of your Switch in dotted decimal notation for example
255.255.255.0.
Default Gateway Enter the IP address of the default outgoing gateway in dotted decimal notation,
for example 192.168.0.254.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch
loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the
top navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you
are done configuring.
Cancel Click Cancel to begin configuring the fields again.
In-band IP Addresses
You can create up to 64 IP addresses, which are used to access and manage the Switch from the ports
belonging to the pre-defined VLAN(s). You must configure a VLAN first.
