There are three ways to configure and monitor the switch through the switch’s Ethernet port. They are CLI, Web browser and SNMP manager. The user interface for the last one is NMS dependent and does not cover here. We just introduce the first two types of management interface.
Default IP Setting:
IP = 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway = 192.168.1.254
Ethernet LAN
Assign a reasonable IP address, For example:
IP = 192.168.1.100
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway = 192.168.1.254

•Managing MSM-6226 through Ethernet Port
Before you communicate with the switch, you have to finish first the configuration of the IP address or to know the IP address of the switch. Then, follow the procedures listed below.
1.Set up a physical path between the configured the switch and a PC by a qualified UTP Cat. 5 cable with
Note: If PC directly connects to the switch, you have to setup the same subnet mask between them. But, subnet mask may be different for the PC in the remote site. Please refer to Fig.
2.Run CLI or web browser and follow the menu. Please refer to Chapter 3 and Chapter 4.
