This menu provides the following basic configuration parameters for the switch Note The switch must be reset for these parameters to take effect 1 IP Address This field contains the Internet Protocol IP address of the unit The IP address must be a unique address for initiating a Telnet session or managing the BayStack switches using SNMP The factory default setting of the IP address for the BayStack switches is 127 0 0 2 2 IP Subnet Mask This field contains the subnet mask that indicates which bits are used for network subnet identification and which are used for end nodes or stations The subnet mask is written in the form of an IP address with all network subnet bits set to one The default subnet mask is 0 0 0 0 3 Default Gateway Address This field contains the address of the IP gateway The default is 0 0 0 0 4 Spanning Tree Protocol Disable Enable The Spanning Tree Protocol is a technique based on the IEEE 802 1d standard that detects and eliminates logical loops in a bridged or switched network When multiple paths exist the spanning tree algorithm configures the network so that a bridge switch uses only the most efficient path If that path fails the protocol automatically reconfigures the network to make another path become active sustaining network operations This parameter allows you to enable or disable the Spanning Tree Protocol The default for this field is Enabled 5 Telnet Access Enab
