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 the switch from a local or
Telnet management interface. (If you wish the switch 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 the switch, along
with other optional information, such as the name of the administrator
responsible for maintaining the unit and the location of the switch.

To manually set a switch’s IP address, perform the following procedure:

1. From the Main Menu, type 4 to select Administration Menu.

The Administration Menu in Figure 10 is displayed.

2. Enter or modify the parameters in the window as desired.

Changes to the parameters take effect immediately on the switch.
