Editing the Configuration File (
config
)
The config file must be edited using an ASCII editor. On the Windows platform,
this can be a program such as Notepad or Wordpad. On the Unix platform, this can
be a program such as VI. After making all desired changes, save the file on the
management station hard drive, overwriting the existing file.
T
he Switch Management Configuration File
The parameters of the Switch management configuration file (config) are:
•
netAddress The IP network address. By default this is 10.0.0.1.
•
netMask The IP subnetwork mask. By default this is 255.0.0.0.
•
broadcast The IP broadcast address. By default this is 10.255.255.255. If
this parameter is omitted from the configuration, the Switch will compute the
correct broadcast address from netAddress and netMask.
•
gateway The IP address of the network gateway. If this parameter is set to
0.0.0.0, the Switch will assume that no gateway is available.
