- Assignment by DHCP
By default, the management network interface on the Switch Module is set up to obtain its IP address from the
DHCP server on the Enclosure Manager Card. You can configure the IP address in the Enclosure Manager
Card. For more information, see the Enclosure Manager Card User’s Guide.
SmartPanel mode software supports only IP address assignment by DHCP.
- Manual assignment (only in L2 switch mode)
You can assign the IP address by connecting to the Switch Module via the local console. Refer to the following
examples:
