Section II: Web Browser Interface

Configuring an IP 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:

An IP address and subnet mask are not required for
normal network operations of the switch. Values for
these parameters are only required if you want to
remotely manage the device using the web browser
interface.

A gateway address is only required if you want to
remotely manage the device from a remote
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 “Enabling and Disabling the DHCP Client” on
page 226.

You must use the menus interface to manually assign
an IP address to the switch, as described in
“Configuring an IP Address, Subnet Mask and
Gateway Address” on page 224.

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

1. From the Basic Config menu, select IP Config.

The IP Configuration page opens, as shown in Figure 63.

2. Change the IP configuration parameters by entering new information

in the fields:

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