If you want to use your Web browser or a telnet session to manage your switch, note the IP address on this
page. To use your Web browser, simply type the IP address in the URL address bar and press enter. If
you want to use an SNMP management application, you need to note the IP address and configure the
SNMP settings in your switch so that it will respond to SNMP requests. This configuration can be done
through either the console or Web browser GUI. See the User Guide for more information on how to enable
SNMP access.
Note: You need to know the IP address of the switch in order to use your browser or SNMP application to
manage the switch. If you leave the switch IP mode in the default DHCP mode, the IP address of your
switch could change. You would have to reconnect to the switch via the console port to discover the new IP
address. Change the IP mode to Manual for a more reliable connection. If you need help changing the IP
mode, please refer to the User Guide on the Resource CD for Managed Switches.
To learn more about the managed features on your switch, refer to the User Guide on the Resource CD for
Managed Switches.
