xStack DGS-3400 Series Layer 2 Gigabit 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 

xStack

DGS-3400 Series CLI Manual

or 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 IPv4 address:

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

. 

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 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 the method the Switch assigns an IP 

address on the next reboot.
