you must first configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway using a console connection, or DHCP protocol.
An IPv4 address for this switch is obtained via DHCP by default. To

This switch supports eight Telnet sessions or SSH sessions.
After configuring the switch’s IP parameters, you can access the onboard
configuration program from anywhere within the attached network. The
onboard configuration program can be accessed using Telnet from any
computer attached to the network. The switch can also be managed by any

To access the full range of SNMP management functions, you must use
SNMP-based network management software.
