This NetVanta unit ships with a statically assigned IP address of 10.10.10.1 and the ability to connect to a
Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) network and receive an IP address assignment from a DHCP server.
When connecting to a DHCP network, this unit supports Zero-Touch Provisioning, allowing the NetVanta router
to download and apply configuration parameters from a configuration management server.

NOTE
DHCP is enabled by default on the NetVanta 6250 Series unit only.
Regardless of the method you use to connect the NetVanta unit to the network, there are two methods available
for configuration:
■
Web-based graphical user interface (GUI)
■
Command line interface (CLI)
The GUI lets you configure the main unit settings and provides online guidance and explanations for each
setting. However, using the AOS CLI may be necessary for more advanced configurations.

You may access the GUI from a web browser in one of two ways:
Connect via the Static Address
1. Connect the router to your PC using the port labeled GIG 0/1 on the front of the unit.
2. Set your PC to a fixed IP address of 10.10.10.2. To change your PC IP address, navigate to Computer
> Control Panel > Network Connections > Local Area Connection > Properties > IP (TCP/IP) and
select Use this IP Address. Enter these parameters:
■
IP Address: 10.10.10.2
■
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
■
Default Gateway: 10.10.10.1
You do not need to enter any DNS server information. After the information is entered, select OK twice,
and close the Network Connections dialog box. If you cannot change the PC's IP address, you will need
to change the unit's IP address using the CLI. (See
3. Open a web browser and enter the unit's IP address in your browser address line as follows:
http://10.10.10.1. The default IP address is 10.10.10.1, but if you had to change the unit's IP address
using the CLI, enter that address in the browser line.
4. The initial GUI screen appears.
Connect via the DHCP Client Address
1. Connect the router to an existing network that supports DHCP using the port labeled GIG 0/1 on the
front of the device. The NetVanta unit will automatically request an IP address assignment from the
DHCP server.
2. Check the DHCP server and record the IP address assigned to the NetVanta unit.
3. Open a web browser on any network PC that can route to the IP address recorded in Step 2 and enter
the NetVanta unit's IP address.
4. The initial GUI screen appears.

NOTE
It is best to only use the Configuration Wizard for new installations because some existing settings can be lost
or reset when using this wizard.
