Setting the Switch’s IP Address (IP Version 4)
– 443 –
SETTING THE SWITCH’S IP ADDRESS (IP VERSION 4)
Use the System > IP page to configure an IPv4 address for management
access over the network. This switch supports both IPv4 and IPv6, and can
be managed through either of these address types. For information on
configuring the switch with an IPv6 address, see "Setting the Switch’s IP
Address (IP Version 6)" on page 445.
You can direct the device to obtain an address from a BOOTP or DHCP
server, or manually configure a static IP address. Valid IP addresses consist
of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything other
than this format will not be accepted.
To configure an address compatible with your network, you may need to
change the switch’s default settings. You may also need to a establish a
default gateway between the switch and management stations that exist
on another network segment.

PARAMETERS
These parameters are displayed:
◆ Management VLAN – ID of the configured VLAN (1-4093). By default,
all ports on the switch are members of VLAN 1. However, the
management station can be attached to a port belonging to any VLAN,
as long as that VLAN has been assigned an IP address.
◆ IP Address Mode – Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via
manual configuration (Static), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP), or Boot Protocol (BOOTP). If DHCP/BOOTP is enabled, IP will
not function until a reply has been received from the server. Requests
will be broadcast periodically by the switch for an IP address. DHCP/
BOOTP responses can include the IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway. (Default: DHCP)
◆ IP Address – Address of the VLAN to which the management station is
attached. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to 255,
separated by periods. (Default: None)
◆ Subnet Mask – This mask identifies the host address bits used for
routing to specific subnets. (Default: None)
◆ Gateway IP Address – IP address of the gateway router between the
switch and management stations that exist on other network
segments. (Default: 0.0.0.0)
◆ MAC Address – The physical layer address for this switch.
◆ Restart DHCP – Requests a new IP address from the DHCP server.
