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

Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the Web-based Interface
— Subnet Mask—The address mask that controls subnetting on your TCP/IP network
— Default Gateway—The IP address of the device, usually a router, that handles
connections to other subnets or other TCP/IP networks
— VID—The VLAN ID (VID) number for the switch management port
2. Select Manual, BOOTP, or DHCP in the Get IP From field:
— If you select Manual, type the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway of
the GbE Interconnect Switch.
— If you select BOOTP, you do not need to configure any IP parameters because a
BOOTP server automatically assigns IP configuration parameters to the GbE
Interconnect Switch.
— If you select DHCP, you do not need to configure any IP parameters because a
DHCP server automatically assigns IP configuration parameters to the GbE
Interconnect Switch.
3. Type the VLAN ID for the switch management port in the VID field.
4. Click Apply to activate the new settings.
IMPORTANT: To save the configuration settings permanently, you must enter them into NVRAM
using the Save Changes option on the Maintenance menu. Refer to the section, “Saving
Changes,” earlier in this chapter.
