SETTING AN IP ADDRESS
This section describes how to configure an IP interface for management
access to the switch over the network. This switch supports both IP Version
4 and Version 6, and can be managed simultaneously through either of
these address types. You can manually configure a specific IPv4 or IPv6
address or direct the switch to obtain an IPv4 address from a DHCP server
when it is powered on. An IPv6 address can either be manually configured
or dynamically generated.
SETTING AN IPV4
ADDRESS
Use the IP Configuration page to configure an IPv4 address for the switch.
The IP address for the switch is obtained via DHCP by default for VLAN 1.
To manually configure an address, you need to change the switch's default
settings to values that are compatible with your network. You may also
need to a establish a default gateway between the switch and management
stations that exist on another network segment.

:
An IPv4 address for this switch is obtained via DHCP by default. If
the switch does not receive a response from a DHCP server, it will default
to the IP address 192.168.2.10 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
You can manually configure a specific IP address, or direct the device to
obtain an address from a DHCP server. Valid IPv4 addresses consist of four
decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything other than this
format will not be accepted by the CLI program.
