ProSafe M5300 Switch Once you have established in-band connectivity, you can change the IP information using any of the following: • Terminal interface via the EIA-232 port • Terminal interface via telnet • SNMP-based management • Web-based management To configure an IPv4 network interface: 1. Use Current Network Configuration Protocol to specify how the device acquires network information on the network interface: • None - The switch does not attempt to acquire network information dynamically. Select this option to configure a static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. • BOOTP - During the next boot cycle, the BOOTP client on the switch broadcasts a BOOTP request in an attempt to acquire information from a BOOTP server on the network. • DHCP - During the next boot cycle, the DHCP client on the switch broadcasts a DHCP request in an attempt to acquire information from a DHCP server on the network. After this option is applied, you can use the Refresh icon at the end of the row to renew the IPv4 address learned from DHCP server. 2. If the network configuration protocol is None, use the IP Address field to specify the IP address of the interface. The factory default value is 169.254.100.100. For DHCP or BootP configuration protocols, this field shows the IP address the network interface has leased from the DHCP or BootP server. 3. If the network configuration protocol is None, use the Subnet Mask field to enter the IP subnet mask for the interface. The factory default value is 255.255.0.0. For DHCP or BootP configuration protocols, this field shows the subnet mask assigned to the network interface has by the DHCP or BootP server. 4. If the network configuration protocol is None, use Default Gateway to specify the default gateway for the IP interface. The factory default value is 0.0.0.0. For DHCP or BootP configuration protocols, this field shows the default gateway assigned to the network interface has by the DHCP or BootP server. 5. Use MAC Address type to specify whether the burned in or the locally administered MAC address should be used for in-band connectivity. If the MAC address type is burned in, the Burned In MAC Address field shows the hardware address assigned to the device by the manufacturer.. 6. If the MAC address type is Locally Administered, use Locally Administered MAC Address to configure a locally administered MAC address for in-band connectivity instead of using the burned-in universally administered MAC address. Enter the address as twelve hexadecimal digits (6 bytes) with a colon between each byte. Bit 1 of byte 0 must be set to a 1 and bit 0 to a 0, in other words, byte 0 must have a value between x'40' and x'7F'. 7. Use DHCP Vendor Class Identifier to specify whether to set a value for DHCP option 60 in the DHCP requests that the DHCP client on the switch broadcasts to network DHCP servers. Option 60, the Vendor Class Identifier (VCI), can help identify the device to the DHCP server, which allows the server to include additional information in the DHCP response.
