You can change the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway on the Switch. Click Apply to activate
the new settings.
The information above is described as follows:
♦ Switch MAC Address The Ethernet address for the device. Also known as the physical address.
♦ Get IP From Determines whether the Switch should get its IP Address settings from the user
(Manual), a BOOTP server, or a DHCP server. If Manual is chosen, the Switch will use the IP
Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway settings defined in this screen upon being rebooted. If
BOOTP is chosen, the Switch will send out a BOOTP broadcast request when it is powered up. The
BOOTP protocol allows IP addresses, network masks, and default gateways to be assigned by a
central BOOTP server. If this option is set, the Switch will first look for a BOOTP server to provide it
with this information before using the supplied settings. If DHCP is chosen, a Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol request will be sent when the Switch is powered up.
♦ IP Address The host address for the device on the TCP/IP network.
♦ Subnet Mask The subnet mask that controls subnetting on your TCP/IP network.
♦ Default Gateway The IP address of the device, usually a router, that handles connections to other
subnets and/or other TCP/IP networks.
