How Do You
Assign an IP
Address?
Once you have decided which, if any, switches on your network need an
IP address, you have to access the AT-S60 software on the switches and
assign the address or addresses. There are actually two ways in which
you can assign a switch an IP address.
The first method is to assign the IP configuration information manually.
This method is explained in the next procedure, Configuring an IP
Address and Switch Name on page 48. Initially, assigning an IP address
to a switch can only be done through a local management session.
The second method is to activate the BOOTP and DHCP services on the
switch and have the switch automatically download its IP configuration
information from a BOOTP or DHCP server on your network. This
procedure is explained in Activating the BootP and DHCP Services on
page 57.
