Edge Switch network addresses

The Edge Switch is delivered with the following default network addresses:
• MAC address—The media access control (MAC) address is programmed into FLASH memory
on the CTP card at the time of manufacture. The MAC address is unique for each Edge Switch,
and should not be changed. The address is in xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx format, where xx is a
hexadecimal pair.
NOTE:
the Edge Switch motherboard. If an event occurs that indicates the CTP is faulty, replacement
of the Edge Switch assembly is required.
• IP address—The factory preset default IP address is 10.1.1.10.
If Reset Configuration is selected from the Element Manager application, the Edge Switch resets
to the default address of 10.1.1.10.
If multiple switches are installed on the same LAN, each Edge Switch (and the HAFM appliance)
must have a unique IP address. One Edge Switch can use the factory-set address, but the
addresses of the remaining switches must be changed.
NOTE:

features that have been installed. You will need to re-enter your feature key to enable all
optional features after resetting the configuration parameters.
• Subnet mask—The default subnet mask is 255.0.0.0. If the Edge Switch is installed on a
complex public LAN with one or more routers, the address may need to be changed.
