Access the switch from any computer
This procedure requires you to use an IP scanner application. Such applications are
available on the Internet, and some of them are free of charge.
To discover the switch IP address and access the switch from a computer:
1. From a computer that is connected to your network, run the IP scanner application
in your network.
The IP address that is assigned to the switch displays in the IP scanner application.
Note: You can also access the DHCP server (or the router that functions as a DHCP
server) in your network and determine the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
2.
Open a web browser, and in the address bar, type the IP address of the switch.
The login page of the device UI opens.
3. Enter the switch password.
Use the password that you set previously or, if you just reset the switch to factory
settings, use the default password, which is "password." The password is
case-sensitive.
The HOME page displays.
The right pane (or, depending on the size of your browser window, the middle pane)
shows the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
Tip: You can copy and paste the IP address into a new shortcut or bookmark it for
quick access on your computer or mobile device. However, if you reboot the switch,
a dynamic IP address (assigned by a DHCP server) might change and the bookmark
might no longer link to the login page for the switch. In this case, you must repeat
these steps so that you can discover the new IP address of the switch in the network
and update your bookmark accordingly. You can also set up a fixed (static) IP address
for the switch (see Assign
a fixed IP address to the switch on page 17) to make sure
that the new bookmark always links to the login page for the switch, even after you
reboot the switch.
