xStack DES-6500 Modular Layer 3 Chassis Ethernet Switch User Manual Switch IP Settings The IP Address may initially be set using the console interface prior to connecting to it through the Ethernet. If the Switch IP address has not yet been changed, read the introduction of the xStack DES-6500 Modular Layer 3 Chassis Ethernet Switch CLI or return to Section 4 of this manual for more information. To change IP settings using the web manager you must access the IP Address menu located in the Configuration folder. To configure the Switch's IP address: Open the Configuration folder and click the IP Address menu link. The web manager will display the Switch's current IP settings in the IP configuration menu, as seen below. Figure 6- 2. IP Address Settings window To manually assign the Switch's IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address: 1. Select Manual from the Get IP From drop-down menu. 2. Enter the appropriate IP Address and Subnet Mask. 3. To access the Switch from a different subnet from the one it is installed on, enter the IP address of the Default Gateway. If managing the Switch from the subnet on which it is installed, users may leave the default address (0.0.0.0) in this field. 4. If no VLANs have been previously configured on the Switch, users may use the default VLAN Name. The default VLAN contains all of the Switch ports as members. If VLANs have been previously configured on the Switch, enter the VLAN ID of the VLAN that contains the port connected to the management station that will access the Switch. The Switch will allow management access from stations with the same VID listed here. NOTE: The Switch's factory default IP address is 10.90.90.90 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 and a default gateway of 0.0.0.0. To use the BOOTP or DHCP protocols to assign the Switch an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address: Use the Get IP From: pull-down menu to choose from BOOTP or DHCP. This selects how the Switch will be assigned an IP address on the next reboot. The IP Address Settings options are: Parameter Description BOOTP 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 default or previously entered settings. DHCP The Switch will send out a DHCP broadcast request when it is powered up. The DHCP protocol allows IP addresses, network masks, and default gateways to be assigned by a DHCP server. If this option is set, the Switch will first look for a DHCP server to provide it with this information before using the default or previously entered settings. 26
