This chapter describes how to configure an initial IP interface for
management access to the switch over the network. This switch supports
both IP Version 4 and Version 6, and can be managed simultaneously
through either of these address types. You can manually configure a
specific IPv4 or IPv6 address or direct the switch to obtain an IPv4 address
from a BOOTP or DHCP server when it is powered on. An IPv6 global
unicast or link-local address can be manually configured, or a link-local
address can be dynamically generated.
This chapter provides information on network functions including:
◆
– Sets an IPv4 address for management access.
◆
– Sets an IPv6 address for management access.

Use the IP > General > Routing Interface (Add Address) page to configure
an IPv4 address for the switch. An IPv4 address is obtained via DHCP by
default for VLAN 1. To configure a static address, you need to change the
switch’s default settings to values that are compatible with your network.
You may also need to a establish a default gateway between the switch and
management stations that exist on another network segment (if no routing
protocols are enabled).
You can direct the device to obtain an address from a BOOTP or DHCP
server, or manually configure a static IP address. Valid IP addresses consist
of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything other
than this format will not be accepted.

This section describes how to configure a single local interface for initial
access to the switch. To configure multiple IP interfaces, set up an IP
interface for each VLAN.
◆
Once an IP address has been assigned to an interface, routing between
different interfaces on the switch is enabled.
