The parameters in the IP Parameters menu are described below:
1 - IP Address
This parameter specifies the IP address of the switch. You must
specify an IP address if you intend to remotely manage the switch
using a web browser, a Telnet utility, or an SNMP management
program, or if you want a switch to function as the Master switch
of an enhanced stack.
2 - Subnet Mask
This parameter specifies the subnet mask for the switch. You must
specify a subnet mask if you assigned an IP address to the switch.
3 - Default Gateway
This parameter specifies the default router’s IP address. This
address is required if you intend to remotely manage the switch
from a management station that is separated from the switch by
a router.
4 - System Name
This parameter specifies a name for the switch (for example, Sales

It is advisable that you assign each switch a name. The names can
help you identify the various switches when you manage them and
avoid performing a configuration procedure on the wrong switch.

This parameter specifies the name of the network administrator
responsible for managing the switch. This parameter is optional.

Management Passwords on page 48.
