• DHCP: Select this option to enable the switch to obtain IP information from a DHCP server
on the network.
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Gateway Address
If the protocol type is Static, enter the IP information associated with the network port. These
fields are not editable (grayed out) when DHCP is selected in the previous option.
CAUTION: Changing the protocol type or IP address discontinues the current connection;
you can log on again using the new IP information.
MAC Address The burned-in universally administered MAC address of this switch.
Web Parameters
Session Timeout Specify the amount of time in minutes that a connection to the Web interface remains active,
assuming no user activity.
Management Access
Management VLAN ID
Management Port
Access to the management software is controlled by the assignment of a VLAN ID and the
selection of a management port. By default, the management VLAN ID is 1. Note that all ports
are members of VLAN 1 by default; the administrator may want to create a different VLAN to
assign as the management VLAN and associate it to a management port.
Any one physical port can be selected as the management port.
Note: All ports that are members of VLAN 1 (the management VLAN) will have management
access to the switch even though the management port is configured as port 1.
See “Example—Creating a Management VLAN” on page 7-5 for complete instructions on
creating a management VLAN.
