1.3.2 In-band management through Ethernet

In addition to terminal mode configuration, the 24 + 2 Giga SNMP Ethernet Switch also supports In-Band Configuration using a Web Browser. Compared with terminal mode configuration, web browser configuration is more convenient and easier. You can simply connect a network-ready PC to the Switch, open the web browser, go to the Switch’s configuration page (Switch’s IP address), and configure the Switch by clicking on the subject on the menu.

Before you can access the switch through in-band, you must make sure the computer connecting to the Switch has a web browser and the TCP/IP protocol (with valid IP address) is bound to the network adapter. After that, you can either change your computer’s IP address to the same class as the Switch’s IP address, or you can login to the Switch with the “out-of-band” method described in the previous section and configure the Switch’s IP address to the same class as your computer’s IP address. Below, is the Switch’s default IP information:

IP Address: 192.168.1.1

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 192.168.1.254

Modify Switch’s IP address via Out-of-Band method

1.Login the console (note: default User Name: admin, Password: lindy).

2.Use “Tab” key to select (highlight) “Switch Static Configuration” and hit “Enter”.

3.Use “Tab” key to select “Administration Configuration” and hit “Enter”.

4.Use “Tab” key to select “IP Configuration” and hit “Enter”.

5.Use “Tab” key to select “Edit” and hit “Enter”.

6.Use “Tab” key to highlight “IP Address”, enter the desired IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.1), and hit “Enter”.

7.The “Subnet Mask” is now highlighted, enter the correct subnet mask, and hit “Enter.

8.Input the Gateway address and hit “Enter”.

9.Press and hold “Ctrl” and then hit “A” to go to the “Action Menu”.

10.Use “Tab” key to select “Save” and hit “Enter”.

11.The screen will prompt you to “restart the system…” turn off the Switch, wait for 10 seconds, and then turn the Switch’s power back on.
