Setting an IP Address
You must establish IP address information for the switch to obtain
management access through the network. This can be done in either of the
following ways:
Manual — You have to input the information, including IP address and
subnet mask. If your management station is not in the same IP subnet as
the switch, you will also need to specify the default gateway router.
Dynamic — The switch sends IP configuration requests to BOOTP or
DHCP address allocation servers on the network.

Manual Configuration

You can manually assign an IP address to the switch. You may also need to
specify a default gateway that resides between this device and management
stations that exist on another network segment (if routing is not enabled
on this switch). Valid IP addresses consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to
255, separated by periods. Anything outside this format will not be
accepted by the CLI program.
Note: The IP address for this switch is unassigned by default.
Before you can assign an IP address to the switch, you must obtain the
following information from your network administrator:
Username: admin
Password:
