D-Link DES-3250TG User Manual - Ip Address

D-Link DES-3250TG Standalone Layer 2 Switch

IP Address 

The Switch needs to have an IP address assigned to it so that an In-Band network management system (for example, the Web 

Manageror Telnet) client can find it on the network. The IP Address Settings window allows you to change the settings for 

the Ethernet interface used for in-band communication. 

To set the switch’s IP address: 

Click IP Address on the Configuration menuto open the following window: 

Figure 7- 1. IP Address Settings window 

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 manually assign the switch’s IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address: 

Select Manual from the Get IP From drop-down menu. 

Enter the appropriate IP address and subnet mask. 

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

you will manage the switch from the subnet on which it is installed, you can leave the default address in this field. 

If no VLANs have been previously configured on the switch, you can use the default VLAN 

− named “default.” 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 name of the VLAN that contains the port that the management station will access the switch on. 

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

Use the Get IP Frompull-down menu to choose from Manual, BOOTP, or DHCP. This selects how the switch will be assigned 

an IP address on the next reboot (or startup).

The following fields can be set:

           Description 

BOOTP 

The switch will send out a BOOTP broadcast 

request when it is powered up. The BOOTP 

protocol allows IP addresses, network masks, 

and default gateways to be assigned by a 

central BOOTP server. If this option is set, the 

Switch will first look for a BOOTP server to
