Chapter 3: Configuring and monitoring the LANCOM switch
What is the IP address of my LANCOM switch?
The current IP address of the LANCOM switch after being switched on depends on the network
constellation.
Networks with DHCP server – In its factory settings, the LANCOM switch is set for auto DHCP
mode, meaning that it searches for a DHCP server to assign it an IP address, subnet mask and
gateway address. The assigned IP address can only be determined by using the appropriate
tools or via the DHCP server. If the DHCP server is a LANCOM device, the IP address of the LAN-
COM switch can be read out from the DHCP table. If this is the case, the LANCOM switch can
be accessed from any network computer that receives its IP address from the same DHCP server.
Network without a DHCP server – If no DHCP server is present in the network, the LANCOM
switch automatically adopts the address "172.23.56.250" (LANCOM ES-2126+) or
"172.23.56.251" (LANCOM ES-2126P).
If this is the case, the LANCOM switch can be accessed from any network computer with its IP
address set to the address range "172.23.56.x".
