Chapter 2: Basic Switch Parameters
Configuring an IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway Address
This procedure explains how to change the IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway address to the switch. Before performing the procedure, note the
following:
A gateway address is only required if you want to remotely manage
the device from a management station that is separated from the
switch by a router.
To configure the switch to automatically obtain its IP configuration from
a DHCP server on your network, go to “Enabling and Disabling the
DHCP Client” on page 27.
To change the switch’s IP configuration, perform the following procedure:
1. From the menu on the left side of the page, click the System folder.
The System folder expands.
2. From the System folder, select IP Setup.
The IP Setup Page is shown in Figure 5.
22
Figure 5. IP Setup Page

3. Change the IP configuration parameters by entering new information in
the following fields:
System MAC Address
This parameter displays the MAC address of the switch. You cannot
change this parameter.
System IP Address
Displays the current IP address of the switch. To change the IP
address, enter a new IP address.
System Subnet Mask
Displays the current subnet mask of the switch. To change the subnet
mask, enter a new subnet mask.
System Default Gateway
Displays the default gateway of the switch. To change the default
gateway, enter a new gateway.
DHCP Mode
For information about setting this parameter, refer to “Enabling and
Disabling the DHCP Client” on page 27.
4. Click Apply.
Note
Changing the IP address ends your management session. To
resume managing the device, enter the new IP address of the switch
in the web browser’s URL field, as shown in Figure 1 on page 14.
5. After you log on to the switch with the new IP address, select Save
Configuration to Flash to save the new IP address to memory.
Caution
If you do not select Save Configuration to Flash, the IP address
may revert to its default setting when you power cycle the switch.

Enabling and Disabling the DHCP Client
Since the AT-GS950/8POE switch is a web-only switch and does not have
a local console connection, you must be careful when you change the
IP address of the switch by enabling the DHCP client. To look up the IP
address on a DHCP server, you must have the MAC address of the ATGS950/8POE switch. Once the switch obtains a new IP address from the
DHCP server, the switch becomes inaccessible and the MAC address can
no longer be viewed in the AT-S101 software.
Before you enable the DHCP client, record the switch’s MAC address. You
can view the MAC address on the System Information Page when you first
log onto the switch. See “Viewing System Information” on page 36. Or, you
can see the MAC address on the label affixed to the switch.
If the switch power cycles before you save the new configuration, the
software reverts to the default IP address value. Or, if you press the Reset
button before you save the DHCP client on the switch, the software reverts
the default IP address value. In either case, the IP address value is
192.168.1.1.
AT-S101 Management Software User’s Guide
This procedure explains how to activate and deactivate the DHCP client
on the switch. When the client is activated, the switch obtains its IP
configuration, its IP address and subnet mask, from a DHCP server on
your network. Before performing the procedure, note the following:
By default, the DHCP client is disabled on the switch.
The DHCP client does not support BOOTP.
After you enable DHCP, you will end the current management session.
Log on with the new IP address (provided by your system
administrator) using the procedure described in “Establishing a
Remote Connection to the Web Browser Interface” on page 14.
Caution
Record the MAC address of your switch before you begin this
procedure.
To activate or deactivate the DHCP client on the switch, perform the
following procedure:
1. From the menu on the left side of the page, click the System folder.
The System folder expands.
2. From the System folder, select IP Setup.
The IP Setup Page is shown in Figure 5 on page 22.

3. From the pull-down menu next to the DHCP Mode field, select Enable
or Disable.
By default, this field is set to Disable.
4. Click Apply.
If you enable the DHCP client, the web server connection to the switch
is lost.
If you disable the DHCP client, note the new System IP Address
value that you assigned to the switch. Record this value for future use.
Caution
Enabling or disabling DHCP ends your management session.
Caution
If you do not select Save Configuration to Flash, the DHCP mode
reverts to its default setting of 192.168.1.1 when you power cycle
the switch.
5. Log on to the switch with the new IP address and immediately save
your configuration by selecting Save Configuration to Flash from the
menu on the left side of the page.
If you enable DHCP and then save your configuration, you save the IP
address on the DHCP server.
If you disable DHCP, enter a new IP address, and then save your
configuration, you have saved the DHCP setting and the new IP
address on the switch.
