Assigning a System Identity 12
IP Address Configuration Utility
Bay Networks provides a utility to perform the initial configuration of a Switch.
Requirements
To assign the Switch a Management IP Address with the Bay Networks IP
Address Configuration Utility you must have the following:
•
A PC running Windows 95 or Windows NT with a functioning
TCP/IP stack.
•
The PC must be running on the same subnet as the Switch that is
to be configured, and it must have an operational network
connection.
If your environment does not match these requirements, then you must use
the serial interface configuration.
To test the function of your TCP/IP stack, send a PING command to any host.
Running the IP Configuration Utility
The program "BayNetIP.exe" is on a diskette labeled "IP Address
Configuration Utility" that accompanies the Switch. You can copy the utility
to your hard disk and execute it from there, or you can load it from the
diskette drive. The "BayNetIP.exe" program launches the IP Address
Configuration Utility, which allows you to assign a Management IP Address
and subnet mask to the Switch. To run "BayNetIP.exe," follow these steps:
1. Insert the diskette into the A: drive and select Start
→
Run:
a:\BayNetIP.exe
or, open the "My Computer" icon on the desktop and open the "3 ò
Floppy (A:)" drive, then double-click on the icon:
