The Switch Information window shows which (if any) external
modules are installed, and the switch’s MAC Address (assigned
by the factory and unchangeable). In addition, the Boot PROM
and Firmware Version numbers are shown. This information
is helpful to keep track of PROM and Firmware updates and to
obtain the switch’s MAC address for entry into another network
device’s address table – if necessary.

You can also enter the name of the System, its location, and
the name and telephone number of the System Administrator.
It is recommended that the person responsible for the
maintenance of the network system that this Layer 3 switch is
installed on be listed here.

IP Address

Configuring the Switch’s IP Address

The Switch needs to have an IP address assigned to it so that
an In-Band network management system (for example, the Web
Manager or Telnet) client can find it on the network. The Basic
Switch Setup
window allows you to change the settings for the
Ethernet interface used for in-band communication.

The fields listed under the Current IP Settings heading are
those that are currently being used by the switch. Those fields
listed under the New Switch IP Setting heading are those that
will be used after clicking on the Apply button.

To set the switch’s IP address:

Click the Basic Switch Setup link from the Main Menu to
