Chapter 8 Basic Setting

MGS3700-12C User’s Guide

Use the IP Setup screen to configure the Switch IP address, default gateway 
device, the default domain name server and the management VLAN ID. The 
default gateway specifies the IP address of the default gateway (next hop) for 
outgoing traffic.

The Switch needs an IP address for it to be managed over the network. The 
factory default IP address is 192.168.1.1. The subnet mask specifies the network 
number portion of an IP address. The factory default subnet mask is 
255.255.255.0.

You can configure up to 64 IP addresses which are used to access and manage the 
Switch from the ports belonging to the pre-defined VLAN(s). 

Level 4

Typically used for controlled load, latency-sensitive traffic such as SNA 
(Systems Network Architecture) transactions.

Level 3

Typically used for “excellent effort” or better than best effort and would 
include important business traffic that can tolerate some delay.

Level 2

This is for “spare bandwidth”. 

Level 1

This is typically used for non-critical “background” traffic such as bulk 
transfers that are allowed but that should not affect other applications 
and users. 

Level 0

Typically used for best-effort traffic.

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The 
Switch loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the 
Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the non-
volatile memory when you are done configuring.

Cancel

Click Cancel to reset the fields.
