226 Section II: Using the 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 to the switch. Before performing the procedure, note the
following:
ˆ 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 with a web browser.
ˆ 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.
ˆ 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 230.
ˆ The initial assignment of an IP address must be made through a local
management session using the menus interface.
To change the switch’s IP configuration, perform the following procedure:
1. From the System folder, select IP Setup.
The IP Setup page is shown in Figure 58.
