Change the IP Address of the Switch

By default, the switch receives an IP address from a DHCP server (or a router that functions as a DHCP
server) in your network.
To disable the DHCP client of the switch and change the IP address of the switch to a fixed
IP address:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the switch or to the
switch directly through an Ethernet cable.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
The login page displays.
3. Enter the switch password.
The default password is password. The password is case-sensitive.
The HOME page displays.
4. Select IP Address (DHCP On).
The IP address fields display but you cannot change them yet. The button in the DHCP section displays
blue because the DHCP client of the switch is enabled.
5. Click the button in the DHCP section.
The button displays white, indicating that the DHCP client of the switch is disabled, and you can now
change the IP address fields.
6. Enter the fixed (static) IP address that you want to assign to the switch and the associated subnet mask
and gateway IP address.
7. Click the APPLY button.
A pop-up window displays a message.
8. Click the X in the pop-up window.
Your settings are saved. Your switch web session might be disconnected when you change the IP
address.
