3-2.1 Advanced IP Settings
The IPv4 address for the switch can be obtained via DHCP Server for VLAN 1. To manually
configure an address, you must change the switch's default settings to values that are
compatible with your network. You may also need to establish a default gateway between the
switch and management stations that exist on another network segment.
Configure the switch-managed IP information on this page and configure IP basic settings,
control IP interfaces and IP routes. You can configure up to 8 interfaces and 8 routes.
