Configuring Your Switch Using the Web-based Interface
To access the switch by using the web-based interface, you must know
the IP address the switch is using. The switch uses the factory default IP
address of 192.168.1.254, with a subnet of /24.
When the switch is using the factory default IP address, the System LED
flashes continuously. When the switch is using a DHCP server-assigned IP
address or an administrator has configured a static IP address, the System
LED is a steady green (DHCP is enabled by default).
NOTE If you are managing the switch through a network connection and
the switch IP address is changed, either by a DHCP server or manually,
your access to the switch will be lost. You must enter the new IP address
the switch is using into your browser to use the web-based interface.
To configure the smart switch:
STEP 1 Power on the computer and the switch.
STEP 2 Connect the computer to any network port on the front panel of the
switch.
STEP 3 Set up the IP configuration on your computer.
a. If the switch is using the factory default IP address of
192.168.1.254/24, you must chose an IP address for the
computer in the range of 192.168.1.2—192.168.1.253 that is not
already in use.
b. If the IP addresses is assigned by a DHCP server, make sure
the DHCP server is running and can be reached from the
switch and the computer. It might be necessary to disconnect
and reconnect the devices for them to discover their new IP
addresses from the DHCP server.
NOTE Details on how to change the IP address on your computer
depend upon the type of architecture and operating system you are
using. Use the computer Help and Support functionality to search
for “IP Addressing.”
