IP Addresses and SNMP Community Names
Each Switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with an SNMP network manager or other TCP/IP application (for example BOOTP, TFTP). The switch's default IP address is
10.90.90.90.You can change the default Switch IP Address to meet the specification of your networking address
scheme.
