IP > General > Routing Interface

You need to configure an initial IP interface for management access to the switch over the network, or how to create an interface to multiple subnets. This switch supports both IP Version 4 and Version 6, 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 global unicast or link-local address can be manually configured, or a link-local address can be dynamically generated.

Setting the Switch's IP Address (IP Version 4)

Use the IP > General > Routing Interface (Add Address) page to configure an IPv4 address for the switch. An IPv4 address is obtained via DHCP by default for VLAN 1. To configure a static address, you need to change the switch’s default settings to values that are compatible with your network. You may also need to a establish a default gateway between the switch and management stations that exist on another network segment (if no routing protocols are enabled).

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.
