Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide
The fields listed under the Current Settings heading are those
that are presently being used by the Switch. Those fields listed
under the Restart Settings heading will be used after the
Switch has been reset. Fields that can be set include:
♦ BOOTP Service Determines whether the Switch should
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 on a central
BOOTP server; if this option is set the Switch will first
look for a BOOTP server to provide it with this
information before using the supplied settings.
♦ IP Address Determines the IP address used by the
Switch for receiving SNMP and Telnet communications.
These fields should be of the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where
each xxx is a number (represented in decimal) between 0
and 255. This address should be a unique address on a
network assigned to you by the central Internet
authorities. The same IP address is shared by both the
SLIP and Ethernet network interfaces.
♦ Subnet Mask Bitmask that determines the extent of the
subnet that the Switch is on. Should be of the form
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a number (represented
in decimal) between 0 and 255. If no subnetting is being
done, 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.
♦ Default Gateway IP address that determines where
frames with a destination outside the current subnet
should be sent. This is usually the address of a router or
a host acting as an IP gateway. If your network is not
part of an internetwork, or you do not want the Switch to
be accessible outside your local network, you can leave
this field blank.
