D-Link DES-3028 User Manual - Ip Address

DES-3028 DES-3028P DES-3052 DES-3052P Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Managed Switch 

IP Address 

The IP address may initially be set using the console interface prior to connecting to it through the Ethernet. If the Switch IP 

address has not yet been changed, read the introduction of the DES-3028/28P/52/52P CLI Manualor return to Section 4 of this 

manual for more information. To change IP settings using the web manager you must access the IP Address window located in 

the Administration folder. 

To configure the Switch's IP address: 

Open the Administration folder and click the IP Address link. The web manager will display the Switch's current IP settings in 

the IP Address window, as seen below. 

Figure 6- 2. IP Address Settings window 

To manually assign the Switch's IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address: 

1. Select 

Manual from the Get IP From drop-down menu. 

2.  Enter the appropriate IP Address and Subnet Mask. 

3.  If you want to access the Switch from a different subnet from the one it is installed on, enter the IP address of the Default 

Gateway. If you will manage the Switch from the subnet on which it is installed, you can leave the default address 

(0.0.0.0) in this field. 

4.  If no VLANs have been previously configured on the Switch, you can use the default VLAN Name. The default VLAN 

contains all of the Switch ports as members. If VLANs have been previously configured on the Switch, you will need to 

enter the VLAN ID of the VLAN that contains the port connected to the management station that will access the Switch. 

The Switch will allow management access from stations with the same VID listed here. 

NOTE: The Switch's factory default IP address is 10.90.90.90 with a 

subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 and a default gateway of 0.0.0.0. 

To use the BOOTP or DHCP protocols to assign the Switch an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address: 

Use the Get IP From pull-down menu to choose from BOOTP or DHCP. This selects how the Switch will be assigned an IP 

address on the next reboot.
