Chapter 3: Basic Switch Parameters
Section I: Basic Operations 34
Comments
This parameter specifies the location of the switch, (for example,
4th Floor - rm 402B). The location can be from 1 to 39 characters.
The location can include spaces and special characters, such as
dashes and asterisks. The default is no location. This parameter is
optional.
IP address
This parameter specifies the IP address of the switch. You must
specify an IP address if you want the switch to function as the
Master switch of an enhanced stack. The IP address must be
entered in the format: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. The default value is 0.0.0.0.
Note
Changing the IP address of a master switch will result in the loss of
your remote management session. You can restart the
management session using the master switch’s new IP address.
Note
When setting the IP address and subnet mask of a switch accessed
through enhanced stacking, such as a slave switch, you must set the
subnet mask first or both IP address and subnet mask
simultaneously. Your network management session will end if you
set the IP address without specifying a subnet mask.
Subnet mask
This parameter specifies the subnet mask for the switch. You must
specify a subnet mask if you assigned an IP address to the switch.
The subnet mask must be entered in the format: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
The default value is 255.255.0.0.
Gateway address
This parameter specifies the default router’s IP address. This
address is required if you intend to remotely manage the switch
from a management station that is separated from the switch by
a router. The address must be entered in the format:
xxx:xxx:xxx:xxx. The default value is 0.0.0.0.
5. Click the Apply button to activate your changes on the switch.
Note
A change to any of the above parameters is immediately activated
on the switch.
A change to the IP address of a master switch will result in the loss of
your remote management session. You can restart the
management session using the switch’s new IP address.
