Figure 6-8. IP Configuration screen
Each of the fields on this screen takes effect the next time
the system is restarted. 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. 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
