1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the IP Address field.

2. Enter the IP address into this field using Dotted Decimal Notation (DDN) format. 

For example: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn

3. Press ENTER. If the IP address is a valid format, the cursor returns to the beginning of the IP 

address field. If the entry is not valid, the screen displays the message “INVALID IP ADDRESS 
OR FORMAT ENTERED”. Local Management does not alter the current value and refreshes 
the IP address field with the previous value.

Agg Mode
(Toggle)

Select the trunking method that the switch will use to create a trunk 
consisting of a group of ports to increase the bandwidth between 
switches.

You can select either the Enterasys Networks’ SmartTrunking 
(Huntgroup) or the IEEE 802.3ad protocol. This field toggles between 
HUNTGROUP and IEEE8023ad. The default is HUNTGROUP.

NOTE: When the Agg Mode is set to 8023ad, the Port 
Configuration menu item SMARTTRUNK CONFIGURATION 
is replaced with LINK AGGREGATION MENU. This menu 
screen provides access to other screens to display Port, 
Aggregator and System information, view and configure all 
the port-related LACP parameters, and display a summary of 
all the available aggregators and other related information.

For more information, refer to

NOTE: If the 6C105 or 6C107 chassis has been assigned an IP address, it is not 
necessary to assign an IP address to the switch module. All installed modules have the 
same IP address as the chassis. If a separate IP address for the switch module is 
needed, proceed as follows.
