IP Configuration 
The IP Configuration includes the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway. The 
Configured column is used to view or ch ange the IP configuration. Fill up the IP 
Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway for the device. The screen in  Figure 5-4 appears.

This page includes the following fields: 
 
Object Description 
DHCP Client:  Enable or disable the DHCP client func
tion. When DHCP client function is 
enabled, the switch will be assigned an IP address from the network 
DHCP server. The default IP address will be replaced by the assigned IP 
address on DHCP server. After the user clicks Apply, a popup dialog 
shows up to inform the user that when the DHCP client is enabled, the 
current IP will lose and user should find the new IP on the DHCP server. 
IP Address:  Assign the IP address that the network is using. If DHCP client function is 
enabled, this switch is configured as a DHCP client. The network DHCP 
server will assign the IP address to the switch and display it in this 
column.  
The default IP is 192.168.0.100 or the 
user has to assign an IP address 
manually when DHCP Client is disabled. 
Subnet Mask:  Assign the subnet mask to the IP address. If DHCP client function is 
disabled, the user has to assign the 
subnet mask in this column field. 
Gateway: Assign the network gateway for the switch. If DHCP client function is 
disabled, the user has to assign the gateway in this column field.  
The default gateway is 192.168.0.1. 
DNS1: 
Assign the primary DNS IP address. 
DNS2: Assign the secondary DNS IP address.

DHCP Server 
DHCP is the abbreviation of Dynamic Host Co nfiguration Protocol that is a protocol 
for assigning dynamic IP addresses to  devices on a network. With dynamic 
addressing, a device can have a different IP  address every time it connects to the 
network. In some systems, the devices IP  address can even change while it is still 
connected. DHCP also supports a mix of st atic and dynamic IP addresses. Dynamic 
addressing simplifies network administration  because the software keeps track of IP 
addresses rather than requiring an adminis trator to manage the task. This means 
that a new computer can be added to a  network without the hassle of manually 
assigning it a unique IP address. 
The system provides the DHCP server f unction. Having enabled the DHCP server 
function, the switch system will be  configured as a DHCP server. 
System configuration 
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol  (DHCP) Server gives out IP addresses when 
a device is booting up and request an IP to  logged on to the network. It must be set 
as a DHCP client to obtain  the IP address automatically.

This page includes the following fields: 
 
Object Description 
DHCP Server: Enable or Disable the DHCP Server function. Enable—the switch will be 
the DHCP server on your local network. 
Low IP Address: Type in an IP address. Low IP address is the beginning of the dynamic 
IP range. For example, dynamic IP is in the range between 
192.168.0.101 ~ 192.168.0.200. In contrast, 
192.168.0.101 is the Low IP 
address. 
High IP Address:  Type in an IP address. High IP address is the end of the dynamic IP 
range. For example, dynamic IP is
 in the range between 192.168.0.101 
~ 192.168.0.200. In contrast,  192.168.0.200 is the High IP address. 
Subnet Mask:  Type in the subnet mask of the IP configuration. 
Gateway: Type in the IP address of the gateway in your network. 
DNS: Type in the Domain Name Server IP Address in your network. 
Lease Time (sec): It is the time period that system will reset the dynamic IP assignment to 
ensure the dynamic IP will not been occupied for a long time or the 
server doesn’t know that the dynamic IP is idle. 
 
Client Entries 
When the DHCP server function is enabled, 
the system will collect the DHCP client 
information including the assigned IP addre ss, the MAC address of the client device, 
the IP assigning type, status and lease time.

Port and IP Bindings 
Assign the dynamic IP address bound with th e port to the connected client. The user 
is allowed to fill each port column with on e particular IP address. When the device is 
connecting to the port and asks  for IP assigning, the system will assign the IP address 
bound with the port.
