If you want to use your Web browser or a telnet session to manage your switch, note the IP address on the
Sysinfo page. To use your Web browser, simply type the IP address in the URL address bar and press
enter. If you want to use an SNMP management application, you need to note the IP address and
configure the SNMP settings in your switch so that it will respond to SNMP requests. This configuration
can be done through either the console or the Web browser. See the User Manual for instructions on how
to enable SNMP access.
Note: The switch IP address uses DHCP by default to assign its address. If you leave the switch set to the
default DHCP mode and the IP address changes, you would have to reconnect to the switch via the
console port to discover the new IP address. Change the IP mode to Manual for a more reliable
connection. If you need help changing the IP mode, refer to the User Guide.
To learn more about the managed features on your switch, refer to the User Guide on the Resource CD for
Managed Switches.
