Modular Ethernet Switch User's Guide You will need to change some settings to allow you to be able to manage the Switch from an SNMP-based Network Management System or to be able to access the Switch using the Telnet protocol. See the next chapter for Web-based network management information. Configure IP Address The Switch needs to have a TCP/IP address assigned to it so that an in-band network management system (Web-based, Telnet, etc.) can find it on the network. The IP Address Configuration screen allows you to change the settings for the two different interfaces used on the Switch: the Ethernet interface used for inband communication, and the SLIP interface used over the console port for out-of-band communication. Choose Configure IP Address to access the first item on the System Configuration menu. The following screen appears: Figure 6-9. IP Address Configuration screen The fields listed under the Current Settings heading are those that are presently being used by the Switch. Those fields listed under the Restart Settings heading will be used after the Switch has been restarted. Fields that can be set include: ♦ Get IP from Determines whether the Switch should get it's IP Address settings from the user (Manual), a BootP server, or a DHCP server. Manual - When manual is chosen, the switch will use the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway settings defined in this screen upon being rebooted. BootP - Sends out a BOOTP broadcast request when it is powered up. The BOOTP protocol allows IP addresses, network masks, and default gateways to be assigned on 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. DHCP - Causes the switch to act as a DHCP client and obtain IP settings from the DHCP server on your network. ♦ IP Address Determines the IP address used by the Switch for receiving SNMP and Telnet communications. These fields should be of the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a number between 0 and 255. This address should be a unique address on the network. The same IP address is shared by both the SLIP and Ethernet network interfaces. ♦ Subnet Mask Bitmask that determines the subnet that the Switch is on. Should be of the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a number between 0 and 255. If no subnetting is being done, the value should be 255.0.0.0 for a Class A network address, 255.255.0.0 for a Class B network, and 255.255.255.0 for a Class C network.

Modular Ethernet Switch User’s Guide
Using the Console Interface
39
You will need to change some settings to allow you to be able to manage the Switch from an SNMP-based
Network Management System or to be able to access the Switch using the
Telnet
protocol. See the next
chapter for Web-based network management information.
Configure IP Address
The Switch needs to have a TCP/IP address assigned to it so that an in-band network management system
(Web-based,
Telnet, etc.)
can find it on the network. The
IP Address Configuration
screen allows you to
change the settings for the two different interfaces used on the Switch: the Ethernet interface used for in-
band communication, and the SLIP interface used over the console port for out-of-band communication.
Choose
Configure IP Address
to access the first item on the
System Configuration
menu. The following
screen appears:
Figure 6-9.
IP Address Configuration screen
The fields listed under the Current Settings heading are those that are presently being used by the Switch.
Those fields listed under the Restart Settings heading will be used after the Switch has been restarted. Fields
that can be set include:
♦
Get IP from
Determines whether the Switch should get it’s IP Address settings from the user
(
Manual
), a
BootP
server, or a
DHCP
server.
Manual
– When manual is chosen, the switch will use the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default
Gateway settings defined in this screen upon being rebooted.
BootP
– Sends out a BOOTP broadcast request when it is powered up. The BOOTP protocol allows
IP addresses, network masks, and default gateways to be assigned on 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.
DHCP
– Causes the switch to act as a DHCP client and obtain IP settings from the DHCP server on
your network.
♦
IP Address
Determines the IP address used by the Switch for receiving SNMP and
Telnet
communications. These fields should be of the form
xxx
.
xxx
.
xxx
.
xxx
, where each
xxx
is a number
between 0 and 255. This address should be a unique address on the network. The same IP address is
shared by both the SLIP and Ethernet network interfaces.
♦
Subnet Mask
Bitmask that determines the subnet that the Switch is on. Should be of the form
xxx
.
xxx
.
xxx
.
xxx
, where each
xxx
is a number between 0 and 255. If no subnetting is being done, the
value should be 255.0.0.0 for a Class A network address, 255.255.0.0 for a Class B network, and
255.255.255.0 for a Class C network.
