Parameter	Description
Internet Protocol (IP) Settings
Manually configure IP settings	The IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, IP address of the network time protocol (NTP) server are manually entered for the switch. When applicable, the primary DNS server address and secondary DNS server address are also manually entered. This is the default setting.
Obtain IP settings automatically using DHCP	The switch automatically obtains an IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, and IP address of the network time protocol (NTP) server from the DHCP server. When applicable, the switch automatically obtains the primary DNS server address and secondary DNS server address from the DHCP server. As long as the switch is not restarted, it continues to use the assigned IP information.
IP Settings Configuration
Physical Device IP Address	The IP address for the switch. Each node on a network must have a unique IP address. The IP address should not be lower than 1.0.0.0 or between 224.0.0.0 through 255.255.255.255. This value configures the IP address of the switch, similar to the Device Manager Web interface. When the switch is reconfigured with a different IP address, communication may be lost when changes are saved. To correct this problem, set the new IP address and download it to the controller.
Subnet Mask	The appropriate subnet mask for the switch. The subnet mask is a 32-bit number. Set each octet. The default is 255.255.255.0. This value is used to configure the subnet mask, similar to the Device Manager Web interface.
Gateway Address	The IP address of the gateway. The gateway IP address should be part of the same subnet as the switch IP address. The switch IP address and the default gateway IP address cannot be the same.
Primary DNS Server Address	Address of the primary domain name system (DNS) server. Set each octet. The first octet may not be 127, or a number greater than 223.
Secondary DNS Server Address	Address of the secondary DNS server. Set each octet. The first octet may not be 127, or a number greater than 223.
Domain Name	Name of the domain in which the device resides. The domain name consists of a sequence of name labels separated by periods, for example rockwellautomation.com. The domain name is restricted to ASCII letters a through z, digits 0 through 9, and periods and hyphens.
Host Name	A name that identifies the switch when monitoring or troubleshooting a problem. This feature is optional. The name can include alphanumeric characters, periods, and hyphens.
Administration
Contact	Contact information for the switch. It can include alphanumeric characters, special characters, and carriage returns.
Geographic Location	The geographic location of the switch. This feature is optional. The geographic location can include alphanumeric characters, special characters, and carriage returns.
Spanning Tree Mode	For Stratix 5000 switches, the desired Spanning Tree Mode. The available options are: Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol/Multiple Spanning Tree (RSTP/MST) (default) Per-VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (PVST+) Rapid Per-VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (RPVST+) PVST+/RPVST+ is commonly used in Cisco devices, and RSTP/MST is commonly used in other devices.
Enable Dual Power Supply Alarm	For Stratix 5000 switches, indicates that the dual power supply alarm is enabled. If cleared, the dual power supply alarm is disabled.
Management Interface VLAN	The name and ID of the management VLAN through which the switch is managed. Choose an existing VLAN as the management VLAN. The default name for the management VLAN is default and the default ID is 1 . The number for the default ID can be from 1 through 1001. Make sure that the switch and your network management station are in the same VLAN. If they are not in the same VLAN, you will lose management connectivity to the switch.
Refresh	Retrieves and displays the latest values from the device.
Set	Sends the settings to the switch. The Enter password dialog box may appear.
