4Enter interface vlan 1 and press Enter.

5Enter the IP address and subnet mask for the switch as follows: ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx mmm.mmm.mmm.mmm and press Enter.

(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address and mmm.mmm.mmm.mmm is the subnet mask of the switch)

6Select the quit command and enter the default gateway for the switch: ip route-static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the default gateway)

7From the User View, type save to save the switch’s configuration (this information is not saved automatically when the switch is powered down).

You can now set up your chosen management method. See “Methods of Managing a Switch” on page 36.

If you do not intend to use the command line interface using the console port to manage the switch, you can disconnect the serial cable and close the terminal emulator software.

Connecting to a Front You can manage your switch, including changing IP address information, by Panel Port making a connection to a front panel port. You can then access the Command

Line Interface or the Web interface, as desired. To do this you will need an IP address, refer to “Viewing Automatically Configured IP Information” on page 40 for more information.

The procedure described in this section assumes the unit has been powered up in standalone mode.

Prerequisites

■A workstation running a suitable operating system. Refer to “Choosing a Browser” on page 48.

■A Network Interface Card (NIC).

■A Category 5 twisted pair Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends.
