Solving
Communication
Problems
If you experience communication problems with the Switch, ensure that:
■
The Switch IP address has been configured.
■
If the Switch is separated from your management application by a
router, ensure that the default gateway IP address within the Switch is
the same as the IP address of the router.
■
The Switch’s IP address has been entered correctly in your network
management application (for example 3Com Network Supervisor).
The following is an brief overview of IP addressing, and how to obtain a
registered IP address.
IP Addressing
To be managed correctly, each device on your network (for example a
Switch or Hub) must have a unique IP address. IP addresses have the
format
n.n.n.n
where
n
is a decimal number between 0 and 255. An
example IP address is 192.168.100.8.
The IP address is split into two parts:
■
The first part (‘192.168.100’ in the example) identifies the network on
which the device resides
