Configuring Switches
The switch can be accessed and managed over your IP network using the web-based interface, or by using
the switch's command-line interface through the console port. Using the console port requires advanced user
skills and is only supported on certain models.
The following table shows the default settings used when configuring your switch for the first time.

Configuring Your Switch Using the Web-based Interface
To access the switch with a web-based interface, you must know the IP address that the switch is using. The
switch uses the factory default IP address of 192.168.1.254, with a subnet of /24. When the switch is using
the factory default IP address, the System LED flashes continuously. When the switch is using a DHCP
server-assigned IP address or an administrator has configured a static IP address, the System LED is a steady
green (DHCP is enabled by default).
If you are managing the switch through a network connection and the switch IP address is changed, either by
a DHCP server or manually, your access to the switch will be lost. You must enter the new IP address that
the switch is using into your browser to use the web-based interface. If you are managing the switch through
a console port connection, the link is retained.
