5.3.2 Network settings
Basic Settings → Network Settings
This section describes the basic network settings of the switch.
Figure 5.3.2.1 Network settings
MAC
– the physical address of the device used to identify the device in the
network. It is not recommended to change the MAC address otherwise than in
extreme cases, since it ensures uniqueness of the switch. The last 2 bytes of the
factory MAC address are the serial number of the device. The factory MAC address
is printed on the label and placed on the enclosure and on the circuit board of the
switch.
IP
– the network address of the device. When working within the same subnet,
it is necessary to ensure the uniqueness of the network address.
Mask
– the subnet mask.
Gateway
– gateway network address. If the gateway is not used, leave the
default value:
255.255.255.255
DNS
– network address of the DNS resolver. It is used in some functions to
convert the host name to its network address. If not used, leave the default value:
255.255.255.255
DHCP Mode
– selecting the operating mode of the DHCP protocol:
1.
Disable
– DHCP disabled. The switch uses static network settings (IP,
Mask, Gateway and others).
2.
Client
– DHCP mode enabled. The switch receives network settings
automatically using broadcast request to the DHCP server.
