Changing the Password

IP Address:
Ezconfig will display the current IP address and subnet mask. By default, the network management IP address uses DHCP protocol to have a DHCP server assign its IP address automatically. However, you can overwrite the DHCP client mode by assigning a fixed IP address here. Once a fixed IP address is assigned, Ezconfig automatically disables DHCP client mode and assigns the static IP address to the management VLAN.
