Where the x's represent the IP address to be assigned to the IP interface named System and the z represents the corresponding number of subnets in CIDR notation. Using this method, the Switch can be assigned an IP address and subnet mask which can then be used to connect a management station to the Switch's web-based management agent. 25

Switch IP Address
Each Switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with an SNMP network manager or other
TCP/IP application (for example BOOTP, TFTP).
The Switch’s default IP address is 10.90.90.90. You can change the default
Switch IP Address to meet the specification of your networking address scheme.
The Switch is also assigned a unique MAC address by the factory.
This MAC address cannot be changed, and can be found
from the initial boot console screen – shown below.
Figure 5 - 2.
Console Boot Screen
The Switch’s MAC address can also be found from the console program under the Switch Information menu item, as shown
below.
Setting an IP Address
The IP address for the Switch must be set before it can be managed with the web-based manager.
The Switch IP address may
be automatically set using BOOTP or DHCP protocols, in which case the actual address assigned to the Switch must be
known.
The IP address may alternatively be set using the Command Line Interface (CLI) over the console serial port as follows
:
1.
Starting at the command line prompt DES3226S4#
enter the commands
config ipif System ipaddress
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
.
Where the x’s represent the IP address to be assigned to the IP
interface named System and the y’s represent the corresponding subnet mask.
2.
Alternatively, you can enter DES3226S4#
enter the commands
config ipif system ipaddress
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/z
.
Where the x’s represent the IP address to be assigned to the IP interface named System
and the z represents the corresponding number of subnets in CIDR notation.
Using this method, the Switch can be assigned an IP address and subnet mask which can then be used to connect a
management station to the Switch’s web-based management agent.
