IP Configuration

3-9

Use the IP Configuration screen to set the bootup option, configure the Ethernet IP 
address for the switch, or set the number or concurrent Telnet sessions allowed. The 
screen shown below is described in the following table.

IP State

USER-CONFIG 

Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via manual 

configuration, or set by Boot Protocol (BootP). Options 

include: 
BOOTP Get IP - IP is enabled but will not function until 

a BootP reply has been received. BootP requests will be 

periodically broadcast by the switch in an effort to learn 

its IP address. (BootP values include the IP address, 

default gateway, and subnet mask.)
USER-CONFIG - IP functionality is enabled based on 

the default or user specified IP Configuration. (This is 

the default setting.)

IP Address

192.168.10.1

IP address of the switch you are managing. The switch 

supports SNMP over UDP/IP transport protocol.  In this 

environment, all systems on the Internet, such as 

network interconnection devices and any PC accessing 

the switch are assigned an IP address. Valid IP 

addresses consist of four decimal numbers, of 0 to 255, 

separated by periods. Anything outside of this format will 

not be accepted by the configuration program.

Subnet Mask

255.255.255.0

Subnet mask of the switch. This mask identifies the host 

address bits used for routing to specific subnets. 

Gateway IP Address

0.0.0.0

The gateway that the switch’s agent uses to pass data 

to the management station. Note that the gateway must 

be defined if the management station is located in a 

different IP segment. 

MAC Address

Physical address of the switch.

Maximum Number of 

Telnet sessions

4

Sets the number of concurrent Telnet sessions allowed 

to access the switch.
