5.9 IP Setup
The switch needs an IP address for it to be managed over the network. The factory default IP address is 192.168.1.1. The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. The factory default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. The default gateway specifies the IP address of the default gateway (next hop) for outgoing traffic. 0.0.0.0 means no default gateway is specified.
