Table 11 Basic Setting > IP Setup
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Domain
Name Server
This field is enabled if Static IP Address is selected.
DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP
address and vice versa. Enter a domain name server IP address in order to be able to
use a domain name instead of an IP address.
Default
Management
Specify which traffic flow (In-Band or Out-of-band) the Switch is to send packets
originating from itself (such as SNMP traps) or packets with unknown source.
Select Out-of-band to have the Switch send the packets to the out-of-band
management port. This means that device(s) connected to the other port(s) do not
receive these packets.
Select In-Band to have the Switch send the packets to all ports except the out-of-band
management port to which connected device(s) do not receive these packets.
In-band
Management
IP Address
DHCP Client Select this option if you have a DHCP server that can assign the Switch an IP address,
subnet mask, a default gateway IP address and a domain name server IP address
automatically.
Static IP
Address
Select this option if you don’t have a DHCP server or if you wish to assign static IP
address information to the Switch. You need to fill in the following fields and Domain
Name Server when you select this option.
IP Address Enter the IP address of your Switch in dotted decimal notation for example 192.168.1.1.
IP Subnet
Mask
Enter the IP subnet mask of your Switch in dotted decimal notation for example
255.255.255.0.
Default
Gateway
Enter the IP address of the default outgoing gateway in dotted decimal notation, for
example 192.168.1.254.
VID Enter the VLAN identification number associated with the Switch IP address. VID is the
VLAN ID of the CPU and is used for management only. The default is "1". All ports, by
default, are fixed members of this "management VLAN" in order to manage the device
from any port. If a port is not a member of this VLAN, then users on that port cannot
access the device. To access the Switch make sure the port that you are connected to
is a member of Management VLAN.
Out-of-band
Management
IP Address
IP Address Enter the IP address of your Switch in dotted decimal notation for example 192.168.0.1.
If you change this IP address, make sure the computer connected to this management
port is in the same subnet before accessing the Switch.
IP Subnet
Mask
Enter the IP subnet mask of your Switch in dotted decimal notation for example
255.255.255.0.
Default
Gateway
Enter the IP address of the default outgoing gateway in dotted decimal notation, for
example 192.168.0.254.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses
these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top
navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done
configuring.
Cancel Click Cancel to reset the fields.
In-band IP
Addresses
You can create IP addresses, which are used to access and manage the Switch from
the ports belonging to the pre-defined VLAN(s). You must configure a VLAN first.
