12- or 24-Port 10-Gigabit/Multi-Gigabit Switch Models XS512EM and XS724EM
Specify IP Address Settings for the Switch
By default, the switch IP address works as follows:
•
If you cable the switch to a network with a DHCP server before you power on the switch, the DHCP
server assigns an IP address to the switch when the switch is powered on.
•
If you power on the switch when it is not connected to a network with a DHCP server, the switch uses
its default IP address, which is 192.168.0.239.
You can disable the DHCP mode in the switch and enter static IP address and subnet mask values for
the switch as well as the address of the gateway device used by the switch.
