2. Change the parameters as desired.
The parameters in the Administrative Menu are described below:
1 - IP Address
This parameter specifies the IP address of the switch. You must
specify an IP address if you intend to remotely manage the switch
using a web browser, a Telnet utility, or an SNMP management
program, or if you want a switch to function as the Master switch
of an enhanced stack.
2 - 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.
3 - Default Gateway
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.
4 - System Name
This parameter specifies a name for the switch (for example, Sales
Ethernet switch). This parameter is optional.
Note
Allied Telesyn International recommends that you assign each
switch a name because names help you identify the various
switches when you manage them. In addition, switch names help
you avoid performing a configuration procedure on the wrong
switch.
5 - Administrator
This parameter specifies the name of the network administrator
responsible for managing the switch. This parameter is optional.
6 - Comments
This parameter specifies additional information about the Fast
Ethernet switch, such as its location (for example, 4th Floor -
wiring closet 402B). This parameter is optional.
7 - Set Password
This parameter is used to change the Manager and Operator’s
login passwords. For instructions, refer to Configuring the
Management Passwords on page 65.
8 - BOOTP/DHCP
This selection activates and deactivates the BOOTP and DHCP
services on the switch. For information on this selection, refer to
Activating the BootP and DHCP Services on page 57.
