CHAPTER 23
IP Setup
23.1 IP Setup Overview
This chapter shows you how to configure IP settings and set up IP interfaces on the Switch using the IP
Setup screens.
23.1.1 What You Can Do
• Use the IP Status screen (Section 23.2 on page 167) to view the current IP interfaces and DNS server
settings on the Switch.
• Use the IP Setup screen (Section 23.3 on page 169) to configure the default gateway device, the
default domain name server and add IP domains.
• Use the Network Proxy Configuration screen (Section 23.4 on page 171) to configure network proxy
configurations.
23.1.2 IP Interfaces
The Switch needs an IP address for it to be managed over the network. When the Switch (in Standalone
mode) fails to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server, the default static IP address 192.168.1.1 will be
automatically added and used as the Switch’s management IP address. The subnet mask specifies the
network number portion of an IP address. The factory default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
On the Switch, an IP address is not bound to any physical ports. Since each IP address on the Switch
must be in a separate subnet, the configured IP address is also known as IP interface (or routing
domain). In addition, this allows routing between subnets based on the IP address without additional
routers.
You can configure multiple routing domains on the same VLAN as long as the IP address ranges for the
domains do not overlap. To change the IP address of the Switch in a routing domain, simply add a new
routing domain entry with a different IP address in the same subnet.
You can configure up to 128 IP domains which are used to access and manage the Switch from the
ports belonging to the pre-defined VLANs.
Note: You must configure a VLAN first. Each VLAN can have multiple management IP
addresses, and you can log into the Switch through different management IP
addresses simultaneously.
