Configuring IP Information Management and IP Interfaces 16 If the switch does not receive a DHCP response in 60 seconds, it continues to send DHCPDISCOVER queries, and adopts the default IP address: 192.168.1.254/ 24. IP address collisions occur when the same IP address is used in the same IP subnet by more than one device. Address collisions require administrative actions on the DHCP server and/or the devices that collide with the switch. When a VLAN is configured to use dynamic IP addresses, the switch issues DHCP requests until it is assigned an IP address from a DHCP server. The management VLAN can be configured with a static or dynamic IP address. The IP address assignment rules for the switch are as follows: • Unless the switch is configured with a static IP address, it issues DHCP queries until a response is received from a DHCP server. • If the IP address on the switch is changed, the switch issues gratuitous ARP packets to the corresponding VLAN to check IP address collisions. This rule also applies when the switch reverts to the default IP address. • The system status LED changes to solid green when a new unique IP address is received from the DHCP server. If a static IP address has been set, the system status LED also changes to solid green. The LED flashes when the switch is acquiring an IP address and is currently using the factory default IP address 192.168.1.254. • The same rules apply when a client must renew the lease, prior to its expiration date through a DHCPREQUEST message. • With factory default settings, when no statically-defined or DHCP-acquired IP address is available, the default IP address is used. When the other IP addresses become available, the addresses are automatically used. The default IP address is always on the management VLAN. Defining an IPv4 Interface To manage the switch by using the web-based switch configuration utility, the IPv4 switch management IP address must be defined and known. The switch IP address can be manually configured or automatically taken from a DHCP server. To configure the IPv4 switch IP address: STEP 1 Click Administration > Management Interface > IPv4 Interface. The IPv4 Interface page opens. STEP 2 Enter values for the following fields: Cisco Small Business 200 Series Smart Switch Administration Guide 209
