System > IP

You can configure an IPv4 interface for management access over the network. This switch supports both IPv4 and IPv6, and can be managed through either of these address types. You can manually configure a specific IPv4 or IPv6 address, or direct the switch to obtain an IPv4 address from a BOOTP or DHCP server. An IPv6 address can either be manually configured or dynamically generated.

Configuring the IPv4 Default Gateway

Use the System > IP (Configure Global) page to configure an IPv4 default gateway for the switch.

Configuring IPv4 Interface Settings

Use the System > IP (Configure Interface - Add Address) page to configure an IPv4 address for the switch. The default IPv4 address for VLAN 1 is set to 192.168.2.10 using the subnet mask 255.255.255.0. To change the switch’s default settings to values that are compatible with your network, you may need to a establish a default gateway between the switch and management stations that exist on another network segment.

You can direct the device to obtain an address from a BOOTP or DHCP server, or manually configure a static IP address. Valid IP addresses consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything other than this format will not be accepted.
