3. Enter or change the parameters in the window as desired.
Note
If you are configuring the switch for the first time and the switch is
connected to a TCP/IP network, you must provide values for the IP
address and subnet mask. These are the minimum parameters that
you must specify for a newly installed Ethernet switch in a TCP/IP
network.
Unless stated otherwise, a change to an IP parameter is activated
immediately on the switch. The parameters in the IP Parameters
window are described below:
IP address
This parameter specifies the IP address of the switch.
Subnet mask
This parameter specifies the subnet mask for the switch.
Gateway address
This is the default router IP address. This address is required only if
you intend to manage the switch from a management station that is
separated from the switch by a router.
Domain name server (DNS)
This is the DNS IP address. This address is required if you are using this
service.
Default domain name
This is the domain name to which the switch belongs. This is
recommended if you are using DNS services.
Manager address
You can enter up to four IP addresses of network management
stations that will receive SNMP traps from the switch. The addresses
are optional.
DHCP Configuration
This selection allows you to control whether the switch will
automatically obtain its IP address from a DHCP server. When you
select this option, the prompts in Figure 10 are displayed.
