4.3.1 Network Configuration
Click the option Network Configuration from the Network Management menu and then the
following screen page appears.
Enable IPv4: Click the checkbox in front of enable IPv4 to enable IPv4 function on the Managed
Switch.
MAC Address: This view-only field shows the unique and permanent MAC address
assigned to the Managed switch. You cannot change the Managed Switch’s MAC address.
Configuration Type: There are two configuration types that users can select from the pull-
down menu, "DHCP" and "Manual". When "DHCP" is selected and a DHCP server is also
available on the network, the Managed Switch will automatically get the IP address from the
DHCP server. If "Manual" is selected, users need to specify the IP address, Subnet Mask
and Gateway.
IP Address: Enter the unique IP address of this Managed Switch. You can use the default
IP address or specify a new one when the situation of address duplication occurs or the
address does not match up with your network. (The default factory setting is 192.168.0.1.)
Subnet Mask: Specify the subnet mask. The default subnet mask values for the three
Internet address classes are as follows:
Class A: 255.0.0.0
Class B: 255.255.0.0
Class C: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: Specify the IP address of a gateway or a router, which is responsible for the
delivery of the IP packets sent by the Managed Switch. This address is required when the
Managed Switch and the network management station are on different networks or subnets.
The default value of this parameter is 0.0.0.0, which means no gateway exists and the
network management station and Managed Switch are on the same network.
Current State: This view-only field shows currently assigned IP address (by DHCP or
manual), Subnet Mask and Gateway of the Managed Switch.
