Connecting and Configuring a J-EX Series Switch (J-Web Procedure)

146
There are two ways to connect and configure a J-EX Series switch: one method is through
the console using the CLI and the other is using the J-Web interface. This topic describes
the J-Web procedure.
NOTE: Before you begin the configuration, enable a DHCP client on the
management PC you will connect to the switch so that the switch can obtain
an IP address dynamically.
NOTE: Read the following steps before you begin the configuration. You
must complete the initial configuration using EZSetup within 10 minutes. The
switch exits EZSetup after 10 minutes and reverts to the factory default
configuration, and the PC loses connectivity to the switch. The LCD displays
a count-down timer when the switch is in initial setup mode.
