The Switch’s MAC address can also be found from the Web management program on the
Switch Information (Basic Settings) window on the Configuration menu.
The IP address for the Switch must be set before it can be managed with the Web-based
manager. The Switch IP address can be automatically set using BOOTP or DHCP protocols,
in which case the actual address assigned to the Switch must be known.
The IP address may be set using the Command Line Interface (CLI) over the console serial
port as follows:
1. Starting at the command line prompt, enter the commands
config ipif System
ipaddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
. Where the
x
’s represent the IP address
to be assigned to the IP interface named
System
and the
y
’s represent the
corresponding subnet mask.
2. Alternatively, you can enter
config ipif System ipaddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/z
. Where
the
x
’s represent the IP address to be assigned to the IP interface named
System
and
the
z
represents the corresponding number of subnets in CIDR notation.
The IP interface named
System
on the Switch can be assigned an IP address and subnet mask
which can then be used to connect a management station to the Switch’s Telnet or Web-based
management agent.
