Parameter description:
z MAC Address:
It is the Ethernet MAC address of the management agent in this switch.
z S/W Version:
The sfotware version of this switch.
z IP Address:
Users can configure the IP settings and fill in new values. Then, click <Apply>
button to update. Default: 192.168.1.1
z Subnet Mask:
Subnet mask is made for the purpose to get more network address because any
IP device in a network must own its IP address, composed of Network address
and Host address, otherwise can’t communicate with other devices each other.
But unfortunately, the network classes A, B, and C are all too large to fit for
almost all networks, hence, subnet mask is introduced to solve this problem.
Subnet mask uses some bits from host address and makes an IP address
looked Network address, Subnet mask number and host address. It is shown in
the following figure. This reduces the total IP number of a network able to
support, by the amount of 2 power of the bit number of subnet number (2^(bit
number of subnet number)).
