Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Configure IPv4 Interface in Layer 2 on Sx500 Series Stackable Switches

Objective

The IPv4 Interface page allows the user to choose whether the device dynamically receives an IP address through DHCP or statically receives an IP address defined by the user. If a switch does not have a DHCP server running, then the IP address needs to be assigned statically. 

The objective of this document is to show you how to configure the IPv4 interface statically or dynamically based on your requirements.

Applicable Devices

• Sx500 Series Stackable Switches

Software Version

• 1.3.0.62

Dynamic IPv4 Configuration

Step 1. Log in to the web configuration utility and choose Administration > Management Interface > IPv4 Interface. The IPv4 Interface page opens.

Step 2. Choose the VLAN you wish to use as the management VLAN from the Management VLAN drop-down list. By default the management VLAN is 1.

Step 3. Click Dynamic in the IP Address Type field.

Step 4. (Optional) Check the Enable check box in the Renew IP Address Now field to renew the IP address at this instant.

Step 5. Click Apply.

Static IPv4 Configuration

Step 1. Log in to the web configuration utility and choose Administration > Management Interface > IPv4 Interface. The IPv4 Interface page opens.

Step 2. Choose the VLAN you wish to use as the management VLAN from the Management VLAN drop-down list. By default the management VLAN is 1.

Step 3. Click Static in the IP Address Type field.

Step 4. Enter the IP address for the IPv4 interface in the IP Address field.

Step 5. Click the radio button for the desired mask type from the Mask field.

• Network Mask — Enter the subnet mask of the IP address entered in Step 4.

• Prefix Length — Enter the prefix length of the IP address entered in Step 4. Prefix length is the number of network bits in the address (like 16 for Class B addresses or 24 for Class C addresses).

Step 6. Click the desired radio button in the Administrative Default Gateway field that is used to access the device for the web configuration utility.

• User Defined — Enter the desired default gateway IP address in the field.

• None — This option chooses not to have any default gateway IP address.
