D-Link xStack DGS-3426 User Manual - Ip Address
xStack DGS-3400 Series Fast Ethernet 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 xStack DGS-3400 Series 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 menu
located in the Administration folder.
To configure the Switch's IP address:
Open the Administration folder and click the IP Address menu link. The web manager will display the Switch's current
IP settings in the IP configuration menu, 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 accessing the Switch from a different subnet from the one it is installed on, enter the IP address of the Default
Gateway. If managing the Switch from the subnet on which it is installed, the user may leave the default address
(0.0.0.0) in this field.
4. If the Switch has no previously configured VLANs, the user can use the default VLAN Name. The default VLAN
contains all of the Switch ports as members. If the Switch has previously configured VLANs, the user 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 0.0.0.0 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 the method the Switch assigns an
IP address on the next reboot.
