Switch Information
The Switch Information feature displays additional information about the selected switch. This information
will vary depending on the model of the selected switch. If the selected switch supports the Switch
Information feature, you can use it to display or configure the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway
Address.
DHCP Mode Selection
The Switch Information screen contains a field for DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Mode
selection. When you enable this setting the switch will obtain a network IP address from a DHCP server in
the network. Each time the switch is powered on or reset, it will request an IP address from a DHCP Server
in the Network. This is called a Dynamic IP address. If there is no DHCP server in the network, a timeout
message will be displayed. If the switch fails to retrieve an IP address from a DHCP server, a default IP
address of 192.168.0.239 will be entered.
To enable DHCP operation:
1. Select System >Switch Information. The Switch Information screen will display.
