Use the Out of Band Interface page to assign the Out of Band Interface IP address and subnet mask or to enable/disable the DHCP client for address information assignment. DHCP is enabled by default on the OOB interface.
To display the Out of Band Interface page, click System → IP Addressing → Out of Band Interface in the navigation panel.
To enable the DHCP client and allow a DHCP server on your network to automatically assign the network information to the OOB interface, select DHCP from the Protocol menu. If you statically assign the network information, make sure the Protocol menu is set to None. Then enter the desired IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway IP address.
Use the IP Interface Configuration page to assign a VLAN IP address and Subnet Mask, the Default Gateway IP address.
To display the IP Interface Configuration page, click Routing → IP → IP Interface Configuration in the navigation panel.
1 From the Interface menu, select the desired VLAN.
2 From the Routing Mode field, select Enable.
3 From the IP Address Configuration Method field specify whether to assign a static IP address (Manual) or use DHCP for automatic address assignment.
4 If you select Manual for the configuration method, specify the IP Address and Subnet Mask in the appropriate fields.
5 Click Apply.
Clicking "Apply" saves to running-config only. To save to startup-config click diskette icon at the top right of the page or System → File Management → Copy Files. Toggle "Copy Configuration" select source = running config and destination = startup config. Lastly, Click "Apply".
