Cisco 500 Series Stackable Managed Switch Administration Guide
Defining an IPv4 Interface in Layer 2 System Mode
This section is not relevant for the SG500X device.
To manage the switch by using the web-based switch configuration utility, the
IPv4 switch management IP address must be defined and known. The switch IP
address can be manually configured or automatically taken from a DHCP server.
To configure the IPv4 switch IP address:
Click Administration > Management Interface > IPv4 Interface. The IPv4
Interface page opens.
Enter values for the following fields:
• Management VLAN—Select the Management VLAN used to access the
switch through telnet or the Web GUI. VLAN1 is the default Management
VLAN.
• IP Address Type—Select one of the following options:
Dynamic
- —Discover the IP address using DHCP from the management
VLAN.
Static
- —Manually define a static IP address.
DHCP Option 12 (Host Name option) is supported when the device is
NOTE
an DHCP client. If DHCP Option 12 is received from a DHCP server, it is saved
as the server's host name. DHCP option 12 will not be requested by the
switch. The DHCP server must be configured to send option 12 regardless
of what is requested in order to make use of this feature.
If a static IP address is used, configure the following fields.
• IP Address—Enter the IP address, and configure one of the following fields:
- Network Mask—Select and enter the IP address mask.
- Prefix Length—Select and enter the length of the IPv4 address prefix.
• Administrative Default Gateway—Select User Defined and enter the
default gateway IP address, or select None to remove the selected default
gateway IP address from the interface.
• Operational Default Gateway—Displays the current default gateway
status.
If the switch is not configured with a default gateway, it cannot
NOTE
communicate with other devices that are not in the same IP subnet.
