6.3.8 Setting the ECN330-switch’s IP Address
This section describes how to configure an initial IP interface for management
access over the network. The IP address for the ECN330-switch is unassigned
by default. To manually configure an address, the ECN330-switch’s default
settings need to be changed to values that are compatible with the network.
A default gateway may also need to be established between the switch and
management stations that exist on another network segment (if routing is not
enabled on the switch).
A specific IP address can be manually configured, or the device directed to
obtain an address from a BOOTP or DHCP server. Valid IP addresses consist
of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything other than
this format is not accepted by the CLI program.
For secure management access to the ECN330-switch, specify a management
VLAN and use an IP address assigned to this VLAN interface to manage the
ECN330-switch. The management VLAN applies to management access
through the web, Telnet, SSH, and SNMP. To specify a management VLAN, see
“Configuring Management VLANs” on page 278.
By default, the ECN33o-switch is configured to operate in ECN330 mode (see
“Enabling the SBC to Access Advanced Management Tools” on page 74). The
factory defaults designate VLAN 246 for external management and VLAN 247
for internal management. VLAN 247 is already configured to obtain an IP
address using DHCP. If the ECN330-switch is configured for ECN330-switch
mode, then VLAN 246 is designated for external management and is configured
to obtain an IP address using DHCP. All other management VLANs are disabled.
Note: When a management VLAN is enabled, IP addresses assigned to
other VLAN interfaces cannot be used for management access.
Command Usage
• This section describes how to configure a single IP interface for initial
access to the ECN330-switch. To configure additional IP interfaces for
management access on the ECN330-switch, specify each VLAN to be
used for management access (see “Configuring Management VLANs”
on page 278), and configure an IP interface for each of these VLANs
(see “Basic IP Interface Configuration” on page 401).
