D-Link DES-3552 [41/260] Ip address

DES-3550 Fast Ethernet Layer 2 Switch

IP Address

The IP Address may initially be set using the console interface prior to connecting to it through the Ethernet. If the Switch IP

address has not yet been changed, read the introduction of the DES-3550 Command Line Interface Manual or return to

Section 4 of this manual for more information.

To change IP settings using the web manager you must access the IP Address Settings window located in the

Configuration folder.

To configure the Switch's IP address:

Open the Configuration folder and click the IP Address link. The web manager will display the Switch's current IP settings

in the IP configuration menu, as seen below.

Figure 6- 2. IP Address Settings window

To manually assign the Switch's IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address:

1. Select Manual from the Get IP From drop-down menu.

2. Enter the appropriate IP Address and Subnet Mask.

3. If you want to access the Switch from a different subnet from the one it is installed on, enter the IP address of the

Default Gateway. If you will manage the Switch from the subnet on which it is installed, you can leave the default

address (0.0.0.0) in this field.

4. If no VLANs have been previously configured on the Switch, you can use the default VLAN Name. The default

VLAN contains all of the Switch ports as members. If VLANs have been previously configured on the Switch, you

will need to enter the VLAN ID of the VLAN that contains the port connected to the management station that will

access the Switch. The Switch will allow management access from stations with the same VID listed here.

NOTE: The Switch's factory default IP address is 10.90.90.90 with a

subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 and a default gateway of 0.0.0.0.

To use the BOOTP or DHCP protocols to assign the Switch an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address:

Use the Get IP From pull-down menu to choose from BOOTP or DHCP. This selects how the Switch will be assigned an IP

address on the next reboot.

NOTE: If you enable the AutoConfig, the Get IP From setting will

automatically become DHCP.
