Description:

This article describes, how static IP parameters can be assigned to a switch with LCOS SX 5.xx (GS-45xx, XS-51xx / XS-6128QF, XS-45xx, CS-8132F and YS-7154CF) via the LANCOM Management Cloud (LMC).

Manual assignment of static IP parameters via the Detail configuration should only be done in exceptional cases (for example, in a very small scenario with very few devices). Since the gateway and a DNS server must also be entered manually in addition to the IP address, manual configuration can quickly become very extensive.

Instead, it is recommended to use an Add-in for assigning static IP parameters.


LANCOM Systems provides this Add-in as well as a description of the variables in the following document:

Configure a static IPv4 address on a LANCOM switch with LCOS SX 5.xx

Requirements:

Procedure:

1) Allow static IP configuration for access points and switches:

In the LMC, go to the menu item Project specifications → Basic and make sure, that the option Keep static IP configuration for access points and switches is active.

Allow to keep static IP parameters for access points and switches in the Project specifications in the LMC



2) Configuring the static IP parameters via the “Detail configuration” of the switch:

2.1) Connect to the LMC and go to the menu Devices.

Open the menu Devices in the LMC

2.2) Click on the Name of the switch to gain access to the extended settings.

Open the extended settings of the switch

2.3) Switch to the tab Detail configuration.

Open the Detail configuration of the switch

2.4) Go to the menu System → IP and modify the following parameters. Click Save afterwards.

Enter the IPv4 address for the switch and the IPv4 address of the gateway

2.5) Go to the menu System → DNS → Static DNS Server IPs.

Open the menu Static DNS Server IPs

2.6) Click on the button New entry.

Create an entry for a DNS server

2.7) Modify the following parameters and click Save entry:

Enter the IPv4 address of a DNS server

2.8) Finally, click on Save and roll out to implement the configuration changes.

Save and roll out the configuration changes
