Chapter 5 Tutorials

1Connect your computer to the Switch’s port which is in VLAN1 (the default management VLAN).

2Open your web browser and enter 192.168.1.1 (the default management IP address) in the address bar to access the web configurator. See Section 4.2 on page 25 for more information. Your computer must have an IP address in the range between “192.168.1.2” and “192.168.1.254”.

3Log in with the admin account.

4Click Configuration > System > IP in the navigation panel.

5Enter 172.16.13.5 as the Switch’s new management IP address, 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask and 172.16.13.2 as the gateway’s IP address.

Alternatively, you can select the DHCP Client check box to have the Switch act as a DHCP client and get an IP address from the DHCP server to which the Switch is connected. Click Renew to update the IP address and DNS server information after you click Save. The IP address assigned by a DHCP server has priority over the IP address you manually configured.

6The VLAN ID field lets you enter the ID of the VLAN group to which you want this management IP address to belong. This is the same as the VLAN ID you configure in the Configuration > VLANs > VLAN Membership screen. In this example, leave the field at 1.

7Click Save to save your changes back to the Switch.

Note: The Web Configurator may no longer be accessible unless you log in with the new IP address. Check the DHCP server for the Switch’s dynamically assigned IP address when it is working as a DHCP client.

5.2How to Configure Login Accounts and Privilege Levels

The admin account has a privilege level of 15, so the administrator can perform all types of system configuration. You cannot change the user name and privilege level of the admin account. You can create new login accounts the user used to log in to the Switch and manage the privilege levels for login accounts.
