ports on the PoE switches that are used to connect to PSEs.

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

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.
