5In the In-Band Switch IP Address field, enter the IP address of the switch in dotted-decimal
notation.
6In the In-Band Subnet Mask field, enter the IP subnet mask address.
7In the Default Gateway field, enter the default gateway address.
Note: The default management VLAN in the BayStack 380-24F 1000 Switch is VLAN
1. To manage the switch, make sure the network management station is on the
management VLAN or is connected to the management VLAN through routers.
Note: If the In-Band Subnet Mask field does not already contain a value when you enter
the IP address in the In-Band IP Address field, the switch software provides an in-use
default value for the In-Band Subnet Mask field. This value is based on the class of the
entered IP address.
