D-Link IP Address Assignment(D-Link DES-3800 Series)

Each Switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with an SNMP network manager or other
TCP/IP application (for example BOOTP, TFTP). The Switch’s default IP address is 10.90.90.90. You can change the default
Switch IP address to meet the specification of your networking address scheme.

The Switch is also assigned a unique MAC address by the factory. This MAC address cannot be changed, and can be found by entering the command “show switch” into the command line interface, as shown below.

The Switch’s MAC address can also be found from the Web management program on the Switch Information (Basic Settings)
window on the Configuration menu.

The IP address for the Switch must be set before it can be managed with the Web-based manager. The Switch IP address can be automatically set using BOOTP or DHCP protocols, in which case the actual address assigned to the Switch must be known.

The IP address may be set using the Command Line Interface (CLI) over the console serial port as follows:
Starting at the command line prompt, enter the commands.

config ipif System ipaddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy

Where the x’s represent the IP address to be assigned to the IP interface named System and the y’s represent the corresponding subnet mask.

Alternatively, users can enter config ipif System ipaddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/z. Where the x’s represent the IP address to be
assigned to the IP interface named System and the z represents the corresponding number of subnets in CIDR notation.
The IP interface named System on the Switch can be assigned an IP address and subnet mask, and then be used to connect a management station to the Switch’s Telnet or Web-based management agent.

In the above example, the Switch was assigned an IP address of 10.53.13.83 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. The user may also use the CIDR form to set the address (10.53.13.83/8).

The system message Success indicates that the command was executed successfully. The Switch can now be configured and managed via Telnet and the CLI or via the Web-based management.

This article teaches you how to setup D-Link DHCP settings on the computer.

Step 1: Open the Control Panel on your PC. Select Network Connections.

Using Category view:

You will then need to select Network Connections if you are using Cagegory view:

Step 2: Right click the adapter and select Properties.

• For Ethernet (hardwired) adapters, use the item listed as Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection.
• For Wireless adapters, use the item listed as Ethernet Adapter Wireless Area Connection.

Step 3: Scroll down the list of items and select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), then click Properties.

Step 4: Select the radio button labeled Obtain an IP address automatically.

Step 5: Click OK on the Internet Protocol properties window to save settings.

Step 6: Click OK on the adapter´s properties window to save settings.

Your adapter is now set to obtain its IP address using DHCP. You may have to right-click the adapter and select Repair to request the new IP using DHCP.

Please Login the D-Link DGS-3612G Switch,default IP is 10.90.90.90.

The IP Address may initially be set using the console interface prior to connecting to it through the Ethernet. If the Switch IP address has not yet been changed, read the introduction of the DGS-3600 Series CLI Refence Guide or return to Section 4 of this manual for more information.

To view the Switch’s current IP settings, click Administration > IP Address, as shown below:

To manually assign the Switch’s IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address:

1. Select Manual from the Get IP From drop-down menu.

2. Enter the appropriate IP Address and Subnet Mask.

3. If you will manage the Switch from the subnet on which it is installed, you can leave the default address (0.0.0.0) in this field.

4. If no VLANs have been previously configured on the Switch, you can use the default VLAN Name. The default VLAN contains all of the Switch ports as members. If VLANs have been previously configured on the Switch, you will need to enter the VLAN Name of the VLAN that contains the port connected to the management station that will access the Switch. The Switch will allow management access from stations with the same VID listed here.

NOTE: The Switch’s factory default IP address is 10.90.90.90 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 and a default gateway of 0.0.0.0.

To use the BOOTP or DHCP protocols to assign the Switch an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address:
Use the Get IP From pull-down menu to choose from BOOTP or DHCP. This selects how the Switch will be assigned an IP address.

IP MTU Settings

The IP MTU Settings window is used to configure the IP layer MTU settings on the Switch. The MTU is the largest size of IP datagram which may be transferred using a specific data link connection. The MTU value is a design parameter of a LAN and is a mutually agreed value (i.e. both ends of a link agree to use the same specific value) for most WAN links. The size of MTU may vary greatly between different links. Instead of making routers fragment packets, an end system could try to find out the largest IP packet that may be sent to a specific destination.

When one IP host wants to transmit an IP datagram, it is usually preferable that the datagrams be of the largest size that does not require fragmentation anywhere along the path from the source to the destination. The path MTU is equal to the minimum MTUs of each hop in the path.

To configure the Switch’s current IP MTU settings, click Administration > IP MTU Settings, as shown below:

IP Interface Name:Specifies the name of the IP Interface to be used.

IP MTU (512-1712):The user can configure each interface’s IP MTU. If the user does not designate an MTU value when creating an interface, the default value of 1500 will be used.

This FAQ is for the DWL-2100AP and DWL-7100AP access points about DHCP Server Configure.

Step 1: Open a web browser and type the IP address of the access point in the address bar (default is 192.168.0.50). Press Enter

Step 2: The default username is admin (all lower case) and the default password is blank (nothing). Click OK.

Step 3: Click the Advanced tab and then click DHCP on the left side.

Note: If you are connecting to a router or a DHCP server, the DHCP server on the access point should be disabled.

Step 4: By default, DHCP Server is set to Disabled. To enable it, select Enabled using the drop-down list next to Function Enable/Disable. To disable it, select disabled using the drop-down list.

Step 5: Next to Starting IP Address enter the beginning IP address of your range. Next to Ending IP Address enter the ending IP address of your range. By default, the range is 100-199, meaning your clients will receive an IP address between 192.168.0.100 and 192.168.0.199.

Step 6: Enter a DNS server to assign to your clients. If you are behind a router or gateway, enter it´s IP address here.

Step 7: Select a lease time from the drop-down list.

Step 8: Click Apply and then click Continue to save the new settings.

This article teaches you how to assign an IP address to the data ports of the D-Link SAN.

Step 1: Access the SAN through the GUI by typing the Management Port IP of the SAN into a web browser and log into the unit.

Once you have logged in Select Network Settings in the left windows pane, select and right-click on the Ethernet Port that needs a portal IP address and and Create Portal.

Step 2: Enter in the desired IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway. Click OK after.

Step 3: The Ethernet Port you just modified should now show up as Online and active in Green.
