IP Address 
 
Figure 6- 1.  Switch IP Settings window 
This window is used to determine whether the switch should get its IP Address settings from the user (Manual), a BOOTP 
server, or a DHCP server. If you are not using either BOOTP or DHCP, enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default 
Gateway of the switch. If you enable BOOTP, you do not need to configure any IP parameters because a BOOTP server 
automatically assigns IP configuration parameters to the switch. If you enable DHCP, a Dynamic Host Configuration 
Protocol request will be sent when the switch is powered up. Once you have selected a setting under Get IP From, click 
Apply to activate the new settings. 
The information is described as follows: 
Parameter    Description 
Get IP From 
There are three choices for how the switch receives its IP Address settings: Manual, 
BOOTP, and DHCP. 
IP Address  
The host address for the device on the TCP/IP network. 
Subnet Mask 
The address mask that controls subnetting on your TCP/IP network. 
Default Gateway 
The IP address of the device—usually a router—that handles connections to other 
subnets and/or other TCP/IP networks. 
VID 
The VLAN ID number.
