ONFIGURATION

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:

IPv4 Configuration

– Sets an IPv4 address for management access.

IPv6 Configuration

– 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.
