The IP addressing used in the switch should be compatible with your network. That is, the IP address must be unique and the subnet mask must be appropriate for your IP network.

If you plan to connect to other networks that use globally administered IP addresses, refer to “Globally Assigned IP Network Addresses” on page 7-21.

If you change the IP address through either Telnet access or the web browser interface, the connection to the switch will be lost. You can reconnect by either restarting Telnet with the new IP address or entering the new address as the URL in your web browser.
