IP Address
The IP Address may initially be set using the console interface prior to connecting to it through the Ethernet. If the Switch IP address has not yet been changed, read the introduction of the Command Line Interface Reference Manual or return to Section 4 of this manual for more information.
To change IP settings using the web manager you must access the IP Address menu located in the Configuration folder.
