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 session. (If you want 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 37.)

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 3 is displayed.
