3.2
Initial assignment of an IP address
Configuration options
An initial IP address for an IE switch cannot be assigned using Web Based Management or
the Command Line Interface over Telnet or SSH because these configuration tools require
that an IP address already exists.
The following options are available to assign an IP address to an unconfigured device
currently without an IP address:
● CLI over the serial port (IE
Switch X-400 only)
● DHCP
● BOOTP
● STEP 7
● NCM PC
● the Primary Setup Tool
(only over in-band port)
Note
DHCP is set as default when the module ships or following
Reset to Factory Defaults
. If a
DHCP server is available in the local area network, and this responds to the DHCP request
of the IE switch, the IP address, subnet mask and gateway are assigned automatically when
the module first starts up. DHCP and BOOTP, just like permanently set IP addresses are not
deleted by a
Reset to Memory Defaults
.
Note
With the SCALANCE X414-3E, the IP addresses of the out-band port and the in-band port
must belong to different subnets.
Example:
IP address (out-band port): 140.90.45.66
IP address (in-band port): 140.91.23.66
Subnet mask
(out-band port/in band port): 255.255.0.0
With the routing function, the SCALANCE X414-3E can have more than one in-band
address. When using the Primary Setup Tool (PST), only one in-band address (the agent IP
address) can be assigned. The other addresses must be assigned with WBM, CLI, or SNMP.
Note
The routing function is available only with the SCALANCE X414-3E.
