• The SilkWorm
 2400 Switch (8-port, serial port configuration) is
managed remotely via Telnet, SNMP, Web interface, or a serial
connection. This switch does not have a front panel.
The Telnet, SNMP, and Web management tools require that the switch
be accessible via a network connection. The switch must be configured
with an IP address to allow for the network connection.
Entering an IP Address Using the SilkWorm 2800
Front Panel:
NOTE The switch’s front panel display is normally not illuminated. Pressing the
front panel buttons activates the display.
1. Select
[Configuration Menu] using the right button.
2. Scroll down until
[Ethernet IP Address] appears. Select this option
using the right button. The switch’s default IP address is
10.77.77.77. Enter a valid IP address.
3. Use the arrow keys to change the displayed value. Change from one
address segment to the next using the left button.
4. When the values are correctly entered, press the right button to input
the changes.
5. Select
[YES] to confirm that the new IP address is correct and commit
it to flash RAM.
NOTE Your switch may also require a subnet mask and a gateway address
before it will be completely network accessible. Consult your system
administrator to determine if these settings are required. If a subnet
mask and gateway address are required, repeat the steps above after
selecting the appropriate options from the Configuration Menu.
Entering an IP Address Using the SilkWorm 2400:
There are two ways to enter an IP address on the 2400. If the default
address (10.77.77.77) allows you to connect to the switch using Telnet,
see “Managing the Switch using the Telnet Option” on page 2-6.
