3.1
Initial Switch Configuration Using Web Browsers
After powering up the switch for the first time, you can perform the initial switch
configuration using a web browser. For managing other switch features, please refer to
the Web interface user guide for details.
To begin with the initial configuration stage, you need to reconfigure your PC’s IP address
and subnet mask so as to make sure the PC can communicate with the switch. After
changing PC’s IP address (for example, 192.168.1.250), then you can access the Web
interface of the switch using the switch’s default IP address as shown below.
The initial switch configurations are as follows:
IP address:
192.168.1.1
Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0
Gateway:
192.168.1.254
Login:
