Chapter 3: Basic Switch Parameters

Section I: Basic Operations
Configuring the IP Address, Switch Name, and Other Basic
Parameters
The procedure in this section explains how to manually assign an IP
address, subnet mask, and gateway address to the switch from a local or
Telnet management session. (If you want the switch to obtain its IP
configuration from a DHCP or BOOTP server on your network, go to the
procedure “Activating the BOOTP or DHCP Client Software” on page 49.)
This procedure also explains how to assign a name to the switch, along
with the name of the administrator responsible for maintaining the unit and
the location of the switch.
Note
To change the IP address or subnet mask of a remote switch
through Enhanced Stacking, change the subnet mask before you
change the IP address. If you change the IP address first, you will
lose your connection to the remote switch.
To manually set a switch’s IP address, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 5 to select System Administration.
The System Administration menu is shown in Figure 4.

2. From the System Administration menu, type 2 to select System
Configuration.
