2 Entering the IP Parameters
The IP parameters must be entered when the Switch is installed for the first
time.
The Switch provides 6 options for entering the IP parameters during the first
installation:
Using the Command Line Interface (CLI). Choose this "out of band"
method if
X you preconfigure your Switch outside its operating environment
X you do not have network access ("in-band") to the Switch
(see page 8 "Entering IP parameters via CLI").
Using the HiDiscovery protocol. Choose this "in band" method if the
Switch is already installed in the network or if you have another Ethernet
connection between your PC and the Switch(see page 11 "Entering the
IP Parameters via HiDiscovery").
Using the AutoConfiguration Adapter (ACA). Choose this method if you
are replacing a Switch with a Switch of the same type and have already
saved the configuration on an ACA (see page 14 "Loading the system
configuration from the ACA").
Using BOOTP. Choose this "in band" method if you want to configure the
installed Switch using BOOTP. You need a BOOTP server for this. The
BOOTP server assigns the configuration data to the Switch using its MAC
address (see page 16 "System configuration via BOOTP"). Because the
Switch is delivered with "DHCP mode" as the setting for the configuration
data reference, you have to reset this to the BOOTP mode for this meth-
od.
Using DHCP. Choose this "in band" method if you want to configure the
installed Switch using DHCP. You need a DHCP server for this. The
DHCP server assigns the configuration data to the Switch using its MAC
address or its system name (see page 21 "System configuration via DH-
CP").
Using DHCP Option 82. Choose this "in band" method if you want to con-
figure the installed Switch using DHCP Option 82. You need a DHCP
server with Option 82 for this. The DHCP server assigns the configuration
data to the Switch using its physical connection (see page 24 "System
configuration via DHCP Option 82").
