Menu: System configuration>IP parameters
This option applies to TCP/IP networks only.
As described in Chapter 2, the section on Configuring IP
Parameters on page 2-7, the switch requires a minimum set of IP
parameters in order to be part of a TCP/IP network. Other IP
parameters have default values or do not require entries.
If you have a BootP or DHCP server, those servers provide IP
configurations to the switch as long as you configure the servers with
the switch’s MAC address. Additional configurations on the switch
are not necessary.
An IP address: This address is required.
Subnet mask: This address is required.
Gateway address: This is the router’s IP address. This address is
required if you need to send packets from one IP network to
another via this router.
Domain Name Server: This is the DNS’ IP address. This address is
required if you are using this type of service.
Default Domain Name: This is the domain name to which the
switch belongs. This is recommended if you are using this type
of service.
Manager address: You may enter IP addresses of up to four
network management servers that will receive SNMP traps.
This parameter is optional.
Download password: The default password is ATS21, displayed
as a series of asterisks. Software downloads require this
password to send software from one switch to other switches
in the network, provided they belong to the same product
series and the download password is the same throughout the
switches. You may keep the default or change it. A switch can
only accept software downloads from other switches of the
same product series if their download passwords are the
same.
