Parameter Default Description
Interface Type Indicates that all interfaces on the switch are Ethernet. Management
IP packets from the switch are encapsulated within an Ethernet frame
for transmission over the Ethernet network.
IP Address 192.168.10.1 IP address of the stack you are managing. The system supports
SNMP over UDP/IP transport protocol. In this environment, all
systems on the Internet, such as network interconnection devices
and any PC accessing the agent module (or running management
software) must have an IP address.
Valid IP addresses consist of four decimal numbers, of 0 to 255,
separated by periods. Anything outside of this format will not be
accepted by the configuration program.
Netmask 255.255.255.0 Subnet mask of the switch you have selected. This mask identifies
the host address bits used for routing to specific subnets.
Default Gateway Gateway used to pass trap messages from the system’s agent to the
management station. Note that the gateway must be defined if the
management station is located in a different IP segment. No gateway
IP address is configured as the default.
IP State USER-CONFIG Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via manual
configuration, or set by Boot Protocol (BOOTP). Options include:
USER-CONFIG - IP functionality is enabled based on the default or
user specified IP Configuration. (This is the default setting.)
BOOTP Get IP - IP is enabled but will not function until a BOOTP
reply has been received. BOOTP requests will be periodically
broadcast by the switch in an effort to learn its IP address. (BOOTP
values can include the IP address, default gateway, subnet mask,
and TFTP server IP.)
