How Do You
Assign an IP
Address?
Once you have decided which, if any, switches on your network need an
IP address, you have to access the AT-S39 software on the switches and
assign the addresses. There are actually two ways in which a switch can
obtain an IP address.
The first method is for you to assign the IP configuration information
manually. The procedure for this is explained in Configuring an IP
Address and Switch Name on page 39. Initially assigning an IP address
to a switch can only be done through a local management session.
The second method is for you to activate the BOOTP and DHCP services
on the switch and have the switch automatically download its IP
configuration information from a BOOTP or DHCP server on your
network. This procedure is explained in Activating the BOOTP and
DHCP Services on page 42.
