IP Assignment Mode. The user manually enters IP related information

• Bootstrap Protocol, which allows the switch to discover its own IP address from a BootP

server on the network

• DHCP, which allows the switch to accept DHCP broadcasts from a DHCP server and

automatically configures IP related information

The default setting is DHCP, to enable quick and easy set-up. However, since you need to know

the IP address of your switch to remotely manage it and DHCP assignments can change, change

the IP assignment mode from DHCP to manual after the switch has obtained its IP address.

Figure 4-11: Set-up Manager: IP Configuration

Note: In DHCP mode, if the switch fails to get a DHCP assignment, the switch defaults to

192.168.0.1 as its IP address.

If you are in the manual mode and need to configure the IP information, enter a site-specific IP

address, Gateway Address, and Network Mask (or subnet mask). Consult your network

administrator for the information.

Press Ctrl-W to save any changes to NVRAM.
