Configuration of IPv4 Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway Address

This procedure explains how to change the IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway address of the switch. Before performing the procedure, note the
following:

A gateway address is only required if you want to
remotely manage the device from a management
station that is separated from the switch by a router.

To configure the switch to automatically obtain its IP
configuration from a DHCP server on your network, go
to “DHCP Client Configuration” on page 53.

To change the switch’s IPv4 configuration, perform the following
procedure:

1. From the main menu on the left side of the page, click the System

folder.
The System folder expands.

2. From the System folder, select IPv4 Setup.

The IPv4 Setup Page is displayed. See Figure 6.

Figure 6. IPv4 Setup Page

3. Change the IPv4 configuration parameters by observing or entering

new information in the following fields:

System MAC Address - This parameter displays the MAC
address of the switch. You cannot change this parameter.

System IP Address - Displays the current IP address of the
switch. To change the IP address, enter a new IP address.
When DHCP is enabled, you cannot change this parameter.
