IP Address
The IP Address may initially be set using the console interface prior to connecting to it through the Ethernet. If the Switch IP
address has not yet been changed, read the introduction of the DGS-3600 Series CLI Refence Guide or return to Section 4 of this
manual for more information.
To configure the Switch's IP address:
To view the Switch's current IP settings, click Administration > IP Address, as shown below:
Figure 2- 2. IP Address window
To manually assign the Switch's IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address:
1. Select Manual from the Get IP From drop-down menu.
2. Enter the appropriate IP Address and Subnet Mask.
3. If you will manage the Switch from the subnet on which it is installed, you can leave the default address (0.0.0.0) in this
field.
4. If no VLANs have been previously configured on the Switch, you can use the default VLAN Name. The default VLAN
contains all of the Switch ports as members. If VLANs have been previously configured on the Switch, you will need to
enter the VLAN Name of the VLAN that contains the port connected to the management station that will access the
Switch. The Switch will allow management access from stations with the same VID listed here.
NOTE: The Switch's factory default IP address is 10.90.90.90 with a
subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 and a default gateway of 0.0.0.0.
To use the BOOTP or DHCP protocols to assign the Switch an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address:
Use the Get IP From pull-down menu to choose from BOOTP or DHCP. This selects how the Switch will be assigned an IP
address.
