30 CONFIGURING THE SWITCH For example, if the MAC address is 08004E000102, the IP address would be 169.254.1.2. This address is used if the Switch is operating in a standalone mode, or no other Switches on the network have this IP address. The Switch also assigns the subnet mask 255.255.0.0 (default class B mask) to itself. 2 If this default IP address is already in use on the network then the Switch detects this, and increments the last byte of the MAC address by one to generate its IP address. The IP address would therefore become 169.254.1.3. 3 The Switch repeats step 2 until an unused IP address is found. 3Com recommends using automatic IP configuration only for the initial setup. Once you gain access to the console, you should assign an IP address to the Switch (either by using DHCP or assigning a static IP address) to ensure successful communication between the Switch and other network devices. Setting the IP Address To set the IP address for the Switch: 1 On the menu, click IP Settings. The IP Settings screen appears. Figure 10 IP Settings Screen 2 Configure the Switch's IP settings. Available options are listed in Table 3. Table 3 IP Setting Options Status Meaning Management VLAN Indicates the VLAN from which the Web interface can be accessed. By default, all port belong to VLAN 1. If you create other VLANs, you will only be able to access that Web interface from a computer that belongs to VLAN 1. (continued)
