IP Configuration
The IP Configuration screen displays these choices: the Switch’s IP Address Settings, HTTP/HTTPS, SNMP, and
Network Diagnostics.
IP Address Configuration
The Switch’s IP information is displayed here.
IP Address. The IP Address of the Switch is displayed. (The default IP address is 192.168.1.254.) Verify that the
address you enter is correct and does not conflict with another device on the network.
Subnet Mask. The subnet mask of the Switch is displayed.
Default Gateway. The IP address of your network’s default gateway is displayed.
Management VLAN. The VLAN ID number is displayed. Set the ID number of the Management VLAN. This is the
only VLAN through which you can gain management access to the Switch. By default, all ports on the Switch are
members of VLAN 1, so a management station can be connected to any port on the Switch. If other VLANs are
configured and you change the Management VLAN, you may lose management access to the Switch. In this case,
you should reconnect the management station to a port that is a member of the Management VLAN.
IP Mode. Choose to have either a user-defined IP address or to have it assigned by DHCP or BOOTP.
Select Edit to make changes. When your changes are complete, press the Esc key to return to the Action menu,
