Set Up a Fixed IP Address for the Switch Through a Network
Connection
If the switch and your computer are connected to the same network (which is the most
the likely situation), you can change the IP address of the switch through a network
connection.
To disable the DHCP client of the switch and change the IP address of the switch
to a fixed IP address by using a network connection:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
switch.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
The login page displays.
3. Enter the switch password.
The default password is password. The password is case-sensitive.
The HOME page displays.
4. Below the SYSTEM INFO pane, select DHCP.
The button bar in the DHCP section displays green because the DHCP client of the
switch is enabled.
5. Click the button in the DHCP section.
The button bar displays gray, indicating that the DHCP client of the switch is disabled,
and the IP address fields become editable.
6. Enter the fixed (static) IP address that you want to assign to the switch and the
associated subnet mask and gateway IP address.
You can also either leave the address in the IP Address field as it is (with the IP
address that was issued by the DHCP server) or change the last three digits of the
IP address to an unused IP address.
7. Write down the complete fixed IP address.
You can bookmark it later.
8. Click the APPLY button.
Your settings are saved. Your switch web session is disconnected when you change
the IP address.
