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 feature in the switch and enter IP address and subnet
mask values for the switch as well as the address of the gateway device used by the
switch.
