To connect the managed switch:
1
The switch will attempt to acquire an IP address
if there is a DHCP server in the network. If the
switch cannot acquire an IP address through DHCP,
it uses the factory default IP address of
192.168.1.254, with a subnet of /24.
a. If the switch is using the factory default
IP address of 192.168.1.254/24, you must choose
an IP address for the computer in the range of
192.168.1.2-192.168.1.253 that is not already in use.
Access the managed switch:
1 Open a web browser window.
