Initial Configuration
Two different methods can be used to assign an IP address to the device:
• using a DHCP server to automatically assign an IP address
(recommended)
• configuring the IP address manually.
Both methods are accomplished through the CLI and are not described in this
document. See “Turning Up the System” on page 3-1 for more information.
Note: If the device has not been assigned an IP address other than the
default IP address (either manually or through a DHCP server)
communication can only take place through the local management port.
Initial IP address configuration must therefore be done through the local
management port.
CAUTION: Use caution when setting an IP address or subnet mask, the new value
takes effect immediately. If information is set that is inconsistent with network
settings, communication with the device may no longer be possible. If all other
troubleshooting methods have been exhausted, recovery may be possible using the
Reset button
.
