Switch Configuration
Properties
Use this tab to configure the parameters for the switch configuration. You must
be online to perform these configurations. In Offline mode nothing is displayed
on this tab.
The IP address can be manually assigned (static) or it can be automatically
assigned by a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. The
default is Static. We recommend that you select Static and manually assign the IP
address for the switch. You can then use the same IP address whenever you want
to access the switch.
• Static - Manually enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.
• DHCP - The switch automatically obtains an IP address, default gateway,
and subnet mask from the DHCP server. As long as the switch is not
restarted, it continues to use the assigned IP information.
