G8296 Installation Guide
To manage the switch remotely using Telnet, SNMP, or a web-browser, you must
first configure the management interface. You can use DHCP to automatically
configure the interface (enabled by default), or you can manually configure the
following IP parameters:
IP address and subnet mask

 Gateway address
By default, DHCP is enabled on the management interface. If there is no DHCP
offer received, the switch uses the default management IP address
(192.168.50.50/24). This address is overwritten when a DHCP address is
received for that interface. If DHCP is enabled and there is no static address
configured for DHCP, requests will continue to be sent. This feature does not
change existing DHCP functionality.
To configure the management interface for remote management, complete the
following steps.
