Set Up a Fixed IP Address for the Switch By Connecting Directly
to the Switch Off-Network
If the unlikely situation that the switch is not connected to a network, or for some reason you cannot connect
to the switch over a network connection, you can change the IP address of the switch by using an Ethernet
cable and making a direct connection to the switch.
To disable the DHCP client of the switch and change the IP address of the switch to a fixed
IP address by using a direct connection:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer to an Ethernet port on the switch.
2. Change the IP address of your computer to be in the same subnet as the default IP address of the
switch.
The default IP address of the switch is 192.168.0.239. This means that you must change the IP address
of the computer to be on the same subnet as the default IP address of the switch (192.168.0.x).
The method to change the IP address on your computer depends on the operating system of your
computer.
3. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the switch directly through an Ethernet cable.
4. Enter 192.168.0.239 as the IP address of the switch.
The login page opens.
5. Enter the switch password.
The default password is password. The password is case-sensitive.
The Home page displays.
The previous figure shows the right pane (or, depending on the size of your browser page, the middle
pane) of the Home page.
