Configuring IP Information
IP interface addresses are configured manually by the user, or auto-configured by
a DHCP server. This chapter provides information for defining the switch IP
addresses.
It includes the following topics:
• Management and IP Interfaces
• Defining IPv4 Static Routing
• Enabling ARP Proxy
• Defining UDP Relay
• DHCP Relay
• Configuring ARP
• Domain Name Systems
Management and IP Interfaces
The factory default setting of the IP address configuration is DHCP. This means
that the switch acts as a DHCP client, and sends out a DHCP request during boot
up.
If the switch receives a DHCP response from the DHCP server with an IP address,
it sends Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) packets to confirm that the IP address
is unique. If the ARP response shows that the IP address is in use, the switch sends
a DHCPDECLINE message to the offering DHCP server, and sends another
DHCPDISCOVER packet that restarts the process.
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.
