3.1.2 IP
Configuration
The IP Configuration page under the System menu (Figure 3-4) allows you to set the IP address of the
switch. The switch supports both static and dynamic IP addresses. When you change the IP address of
the switch, you must reboot the switch in order for the change to take effect. You will also have to use the
new IP address to access the web interface and CLI for the switch.
Note:
If you select dynamic IP address, the switch will automatically get an IP address
from your DHCP server on the network. In order to determine the IP address received by
the switch, you will either need to log in through the console port, or view the DHCP table
on your DHCP server.
Figure 3-4: IP Configuration Page
DHCP Setting:
If set to “Enable”, the switch will retrieve its IP address from a DHCP server on the
network, thereby getting a dynamic IP address. If the DHCP server is down or does not exist, the switch
will show that the IP address is being requested until the DHCP server is up. Until it gets an IP address,
the switch will not continue booting. If set to “Disable”, you will have to manually input the IP address in
the fields below.
IP address:
Allows you to manually set the switch’s IP address if DHCP Setting is set to “Disable”,
otherwise this field is not used. Default: 192.168.1.1
Subnet mask:
Allows you to manually set the switch’s subnet mask if DHCP Setting is set to “Disable”,
otherwise this field is not used. Default: 255.255.255.0
