IP Configuration

The IP Configuration screen displays four menu choices: IP Address Settings, HTTP, SNMP and Network

Configuration.

IP Address Settings

The IP Address Settings screen allows you to set the IP information for the Switch.

gain management access to the Switch. By default, all ports on the Switch are members of VLAN 1, so a

management station can be connected to any port on the Switch. However, if other VLANs are configured and you

change the Management VLAN, you may lose management access to the Switch. In this case, you should

reconnect the management station to a port that is a member of the Management VLAN.
