Setting the Switch’s IP Address

This section describes how to configure an IP interface for management access

over the network. The IP address for this switch is 192.168.2.10 by default. To

manually configure an address, you need to change the switch’s default settings

(IP address 192.168.2.10 and netmask 255.255.255.0) 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.

Field Attributes

• DHCP Enabled – Check the box to enable DHCP. (default: enabled)

• LAN IP Address – Address of the VLAN interface that is allowed management

access. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by

periods. (Default : 192.168.2.10)

• Subnet Mask – This mask identifies the host address bits used for routing to

specific subnets. (Default: 255.255.255.0)

• Gateway IP Address – IP address of the gateway router between this device and

management stations that exist on other network segments. (Default: 0.0.0.0)

Note:

If you cannot remember the switch’s IP address, you can restore the original

settings by following the procedure described in “System Defaults” on page 1-5.
