Configuring the Switch IP Address
The Switch IP address is used by the switch to communicate with external devices such as APs.
IP addresses used by the switch is not limited to the switch IP address.
You can set the Switch IP address to the loopback interface address or to an existing VLAN ID address. This
allows you to force the switch IP address to be a specific VLAN interface or loopback address across multiple
machine reboots. Once you configure an interface to be the switch IP address, that interface address cannot be
deleted until you remove it from the switch IP configuration.
If the switch IP address is not configured then the switch IP defaults to the current loopback interface address.
If the loopback interface address is not configured then the first configured VLAN interface address is selected.
Generally, VLAN 1 is the factory default setting and thus becomes the switch IP address.
In the WebUI
1. Navigate to Configuration > Network > Switch > System Settings page.
2. Locate the Switch IP Details section.
3. Select the address you want to set the Switch IP to from the VLAN ID drop-down list. This list contains only
VLAN IDs that have statically assigned IP addresses. If you have previously configured a loopback interface
IP address, then it will also appear in this list. Dynamically assigned IP addresses such as DHCP/PPPOE do
not display.
4. Click Apply.
Any change in the switch’s IP address requires a reboot.
