Switch Information – Basic Settings
The
Switch Information
window shows the switch’s
MAC Address
(assigned by the factory
and unchangeable). In addition, the
Boot PROM
and
Firmware Version
numbers are shown.
This information is helpful to keep track of PROM and Firmware updates and to obtain the
switch’s MAC address for entry into another network device’s address table – if necessary.
You may assign a System Name, System Location, and System Contact. If any changes or
additions are made, click
Apply
.
Switch IP Settings
Switch IP settings may initially be set using the console interface prior to connecting to it
through the Ethernet. If the switch IP address has not yet been changed, read the Introduction
of the CLI Reference or skip ahead to the end of this section for a quick description of how to
use the console port and CLI IP settings commands to establish IP settings for the switch.
To change IP settings using the web manager you must access the
IP Address
menu located
in the
Configuration
folder.
To configure the switch’s IP address:
Open the
Configuration
folder and click the
IP Address
link. The web manager will display
the
Switch IP Settings
menu below.

Configure Switch IP Settings
NOTE:
the switch’s factory default IP address is 10.90.90.90
with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 and a default gateway of
0.0.0.0.
To manually assign the switch’s IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address:
-Select
Manual
from the
Get IP From
drop-down menu.
-Enter the appropriate IP address and subnet mask.
-If you want to access the switch from a different subnet from the one it is installed on, enter
the IP address of the gateway. If you will manage the switch from the subnet on which it is
installed, you can leave the default address (0.0.0.0) in this field.
If no VLANs have been previously configured on the switch, you can use the default VLAN
Name “default”. The default VLAN contains all of the switch ports as members.
If VLANs
have been previously configured on the switch, you will need to enter the VLAN Name of the
VLAN that contains the port connected to the management station that will access the switch.
The switch will allow management access from stations with the same VLAN Name listed
here.
To use the BOOTP or DHCP protocols to assign the switch an IP address, subnet mask,
and default gateway address:
Use the
Get IP From: <
Manual
>
pull-down menu to choose from
BOOTP
or
DHCP
. This
selects how the switch will be assigned an IP address on the next reboot.
The Switch IP Settings options are:
Parameter
Description
BOOTP
The switch will send out a BOOTP broadcast request when it is powered up.
The BOOTP protocol allows IP addresses, network masks, and default
gateways to be assigned by a central BOOTP server. If this option is set, the
Switch will first look for a BOOTP server to provide it with this information
before using the default or previously entered settings.
DHCP
The switch will send out a DHCP broadcast request when it is powered up.
The DHCP protocol allows IP addresses, network masks, and default
gateways to be assigned by a DHCP server. If this option is set, the switch
will first look for a DHCP server to provide it with this information before using
the default or previously entered settings.
Manual
Allows the entry of an IP address, Subnet Mask, and a Default Gateway for
the switch These fields should be of the form xxx xxx xxx xxx where each
Page 34 / 216

16
the switch. These fields should be of the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each
xxx is a number (represented in decimal form) between 0 and 255. This
address should be a unique address on the network assigned for use by the
network administrator. The fields which require entries under this option are
as follows:
Subnet Mask
A Bitmask that determines the extent of the subnet that the Switch is on.
Should be of the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a number
(represented in decimal) between 0 and 255. The value should be 255.0.0.0
for a Class A network, 255.255.0.0 for a Class B network, and 255.255.255.0
for a Class C network, but custom subnet masks are allowed.
Default Gateway
IP address that determines where packets with a destination address outside
the current subnet should be sent. This is usually the address of a router or a
host acting as an IP gateway. If your network is not part of an intranet, or you
do not want the Switch to be accessible outside your local network, you can
leave this field unchanged.
VLAN Name
This allows the entry of a VLAN Name from which a management station will
be allowed to manage the switch using TCP/IP (in-band via web manager or
Telnet).
Management stations that are on VLANs other than the one entered
in the VLAN Name field will not be able to manage the switch in-band unless
their IP addresses are entered in the Security IP Management menu.
If
VLANs have not yet been configured for the switch, The default VLAN Name
contains all of the switch’s ports.
There are no entries in the Security IP
Management table, by default
−
so any management station that can connect
to the switch can access the switch until either a management VLAN is
specified or Management Station IP Addresses are assigned.
Setting the Switch’s IP Address using the Console Interface
Each Switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with an
SNMP network manager or other TCP/IP application (for example BOOTP, TFTP). The
switch’s default IP address is 10.90.90.90. You can change the default Switch IP address to
meet the specification of your networking address scheme.
The IP address for the switch must be set before it can be managed with the Web-based
manager. The switch IP address can be automatically set using BOOTP or DHCP protocols, in
which case the actual address assigned to the switch must be known.
The IP address may be set using the Command Line Interface (CLI) over the console serial
port as follows:
Starting at the command line prompt, enter the commands
config ipif System ipaddress
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
. Where the
x
’s represent the IP address to be assigned to
the IP interface named
System
and the
y
’s represent the corresponding subnet mask.
Alternatively, you can enter
config ipif System ipaddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/z
. Where the
x
’s
represent the IP address to be assigned to the IP interface named
System
and the
z
represents
the corresponding number of subnets in CIDR notation.
The IP interface named
System
on the switch can be assigned an IP address and subnet mask
which can then be used to connect a management station to the switch’s Telnet or Web-based
management agent.
The system message
Success
indicates that the command was executed successfully. The
switch can now be configured and managed via Telnet and the CLI or via the Web-based
management agent using the above IP address to connect to the switch.
