Example - HP V1910 Switch Series User Manual

If a DHCP server exists in the subnet where the device resides, the device will dynamically obtain its
default IP address through the DHCP server. You can log in to the device through the console port, and
execute the summary command to view the information of its default IP address.

Example

Assuming that the default IP address of the device is 169.254.52.86, follow these steps to log in to the
device through the web interface.
 Connect the device to a PC
Connect the GigabitEthernet interface of the device to a PC by using a crossover Ethernet cable (by
default, all interfaces belong to VLAN 1).
Configure an IP address for the PC and ensure that the PC and device can communicate with each

other properly.
Select an IP address for the PC from network segment 169.254.0.0/16 (except for the default IP address
of the device), for example, 169.254.52.86.
 Open the browser, and input the login information.
On the PC, open the browser (IE 5.0 or later), type the IP address http://169.254.52.86 in the address
bar, and press Enter to enter the login page of the web interface, as shown in
username admin and the verification code, leave the password blank, and click Login.

CAUTION:
The PC where you configure the device is not necessarily a web-based network management terminal.

A web-based network management terminal is a PC used to log in to the web interface and is required
to be reachable to the device.
After logging in to the web interface, you can select Device > Users from the navigation tree, create a

new user, and select Wizard or Network > VLAN interface to configure the IP address of the VLAN
interface acting as the management interface. For more information, see the corresponding
configuration guides of these modules.
If you click the verification code displayed on the web login page, you can get a new verification code.

Up to five users can concurrently log in to the device through the web interface.
