By default, the aggregator receives IP addresses from a DHCP server in the network. If you want to
change the DHCP default setting, obtain the required information from your network administrator, such
as:
• The IP address and subnet mask of the out-of-band (OOB) interface used for remote management via
Telnet, SNMP, or other management agents.
• The IP address and subnet mask of the default virtual local area network (VLAN) IP address used for
in-band management.
• The IP address of the default gateway used for IP access to the aggregator.
