ProLiant BL p-Class GbE Interconnect Switch Web-based Interface Reference Guide

Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the Web-based Interface
Setting the Remote Management IP Interface Settings
To access and manage the GbE Interconnect Switch from an SNMP-based Network
Management System, or by using the Telnet protocol or the Web, you must first configure the
remote management IP interface parameters.
The IP address can be assigned by one of the following methods:
•
•
•
Manual—This option allows you to manually configure an IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway for the GbE Interconnect Switch.
BOOTP—This option configures the switch to send out a BOOTP broadcast request for
IP information. The BOOTP protocol allows IP addresses, network masks, and default
gateways to be assigned by a central BOOTP server attached to the same network to
which the GbE Interconnect Switch is connected.
DHCP—This option configures the switch to send out a DHCP broadcast request. The
DHCP protocol allows IP addresses, network masks, and default gateways to be assigned
by a DHCP server attached to the same network to which the GbE Interconnect Switch is
connected. DHCP protocol is the factory default mode.
To configure the remote management IP interface settings:
1. Select IP Address from the Configuration menu. The following screen is displayed.
The TCP/IP Parameters Setup window is used to determine whether the GbE
Interconnect Switch should get its IP address settings from the user (Manual), a BOOTP
server, or a DHCP server.
The window displays the following information:
— MAC Address—The Ethernet address for the device, also known as the physical
address
— Get IP From—The choices for how the GbE Interconnect Switch receives its IP
address settings: Manual, BOOTP, and DHCP
— IP Address—The host address for the device on the TCP/IP network
