Network
The Network screen contains fields for assigning IP addresses. IP addresses are either defined as static or are retrieved using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). DHCP assigns dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. DHCP ensures that network devices can have a different IP address every time the device connects to the network.
Note the following when configuring IP Addresses: If the device fails to retrieve an IP address through DHCP, the default IP address is 192.168.168.169.
To access the page, click Network under the System menu.
Network has two types of configurations IPv4 management and IPv4 network.
IPv4 Network
IPv4 Network session is to configure an IP to a VLAN manually which has VLAN ID, IP Address and Subnet Mask.
IPv4 Management
Select Static or DHCP for IP address management.. If using a static IP, enter the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS servers.
To be managed over the network, the Switch needs an IP Address. The Network screen contains fields for assigning an IP addresses. IP addresses are either defined as Static or are retrieved using the DHCP. DHCP assigns a dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. DHCP ensures that network devices have a different IP address every time the device connects to the network.
If the device fails to retrieve an IP address through DHCP, the default IP address is: 192.168.168.169 and the factory default subnet mask is: 255.255.255.0.
To access the page, hover over the VLAN ID and click the edit icon.
VLAN ID | Select the VLAN ID. The default VLAN ID is 1. |
Address |
Enables the IP address to be configured automatically by the DHCP server. Select this option for a DHCP server that can assign the Switch an IP address, subnet mask, default gateway address, and a domain name server IP address automatically. Selecting this field disables VLAN ID, Address, Subnet mask, and Gateway fields. |
Subnet Mask |
A Bitmask that determines the extent of the subnet that the Switch is on. This should be labeled in the form: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a number (represented in decimals) between 0 and 255. The value should be 255.0.0.0 for a Class A network, 255.255.0.0 for a Class B network, and 255.255.255.0 for a Class C network, but custom subnet masks are allowed. Enter the IP subnet mask for the Switch in dotted decimal notation. The factory default value is: 255.255.255.0. |
Default Gateway |
The default gateway address is displayed based on the DHCP server configured. For Static and BOOTP configuration, enter the IP address for the default gateway of the network. |
Configuration |
Select the type of server configuration.
