Static IP Address

[Guest]

Hello, I was wondering if it's possible to give a switch a static IP Address.
Ill be using this switch: http://www.tp-link.us/products/details/cat-42_TL-SG1008PE.html#overview
Or isn't it possible to give it a static IP address?

It usually depends on whether your ISP allow it or not. 

 

A lot of ISPs don't provide static IPs to home consumers, only enterprise/industry customers.

 

I'm guessing you want it for a server. If so your best bet is to use DDNS(Dynamic DNS) such as www.no-ip.com.

I could be wrong but AFAIK switches don't have IP address unless they are managed as they should be transparent devices and if they are managed they would usually have a static IP by default as a dynamic IP would be nothing but trouble.

external or internal IP?

external you will need to ask your ISP

some ISPs only offer static IPS in business plans which are like 3x more expensive

I meant to say a internal IP adress like 192.168.1.5 by example

The one you linked isn't managed so I don't think it will have an IP address.
