Access the CLI to configure the switch
To use the CLI for initial configuration and assign a static or dynamic IP address
to the switch, connect a computer or VT100/ANSI terminal to one of the console
ports on the switch.
1. Depending on the connector type at your computer or terminal, and the port
that you are using on the switch, use one of the following cables, both of
which are included in the product package:
• USB console cable for use with the Type-C USB console port.
Note: To use the Type-C USB port, you must install the USB driver on the
computer. You can download the driver by visiting
https://www.netgear.com/support/product/m4250.aspx#download.
• Console cable for use with the RJ-45 RS232 console port.
2. Connect one end of the cable to the appropriate port on the switch and
connect the other end to your computer or terminal.
3. If you connect a computer to a console port on the switch, start a terminal
emulation program:
• On a computer with a Windows operating system, you can use
HyperTerminal or Tera Term.
• On a computer with a Mac operating system, you can use ZTerm.
• On a computer with a Linux operating system, you can use Minicom.
4. Configure the terminal emulation program to use the following settings: baud
rate, 115,200 bps; data bits, 8; parity, none; stop bit, 1; flow control, none.
5. At the user prompt, log in to the switch using the user name admin and press
Enter. At the password prompt, do not type a password but press Enter.
On first login, the switch forces you to specify a password.
6. Specify a password and log in again using your new password
You can now use the CLI to manually configure the switch, including the IP
address, or to use the ezconfig utility, continue with the next step.
7. At the next command prompt, type ezconfig and press Enter.

EZ Configuration Utility
8. Using the ezconfig utility, set up the basic switch configuration, including a
static IP address and subnet mask.
You can also use the switch IP address that you manually configure in the CLI or
that is assigned by the ezconfig utility to log in to the switch's main UI or AV UI:
• Main UI. Enter http://<ipaddress> in the web browser address field.
• AV UI. Enter http://<ipaddress>:8080 in the web browser address field.
Note: For more information about CLI management, see the CLI reference
manual, which you can download by visiting

Find the IP address assigned by a DHCP server
By default, the switch functions as a DHCP client and gets its IP address from
a DHCP server in the network. To find the assigned IP address of the switch's
management interface or OOB port, connect a computer or VT100/ANSI
terminal to one of the console ports on the switch.
1. Make sure that the switch is connected to a DHCP server.
2. Set up a console connection with the switch.
For information about setting up a console connection, see Steps 1 through 6
in Access the CLI to configure the switch. After you are logged in and at the CLI
command prompt, continue with the next step.
3. At the command prompt, type one of the following commands:
• To find the IP address of the management interface, type the
show ip management command, and press Enter.
• To find the IP address of the OOB port (which is also referred to as the
service port), type the show serviceport command, and press Enter.
The active IP address displays.
4. To log in to the switch's main UI or AV UI, use either the management
interface IP address or the OOB port IP address:
• Main UI. Enter http://<ipaddress> in the web browser address field.
• AV UI. Enter http://<ipaddress>:8080 in the web browser address field.
