Configuring an IP Address and Switch Name
The procedure in this section explains how to manually assign an IP
address, subnet mask, and gateway address to an AT-8300 Series stack
from a local or Telnet management interface. (If you want the stack to
obtain its IP configuration from a DHCP or BOOTP server on your
network, go to the procedure Activating the BOOTP and DHCP
Services on page 46.)
This procedure also explains how to assign a name to a stack, along with
other optional information, such as the name of the administrator
responsible for maintaining the unit and any comments; for example,
the location of the stack.
To manually assign an IP address and other information, perform the
following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 4 to select Administration Menu.
The Administration Menu as shown in Figure 10 on page 43 is
displayed.
2. Make sure that the BootP/DHCP parameter is Disabled.
3. Enter or modify the parameters in the window as desired.
For information on these parameters, refer to Table 1 on page 43.
Changes to the parameters take effect immediately on the switch.
4. After you have set the parameters, type S to select Save Configuration
changes.
Note
A change to a parameter in this menu, including the IP address,
subnet mask, and gateway address, is immediately activated on a
stack.
