Configuring the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway Address, and
BOOTP or DHCP

This procedure explains how to assign an IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway address to the switch.

Caution

Allied Telesis strongly recommends that you record the MAC
address of this switch, as displayed in the Basic Switch Information
Page (Figure 4) before you configure or enable the BOOTP or
DHCP options of the Get IP From parameter. After you enable
either option, contact your network administrator for the IP address
from the BOOTP or DHCP server that corresponds to the switch’s
MAC address.

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

1. From the main menu, select Basic Switch Information.

The Basic Switch Information page is shown in Figure 4.
