Connecting the Switch to the Network

To enable remote management of the switch through a Web browser or SNMP, you must

connect the switch to the network and configure it with network information (an IP address,

subnet mask, and default gateway). The switch has a default IP address of 192.168.0.239

and a default subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

Use one of the following three methods to change the default network information on the

switch:

• Dynamic assignment through DHCP—DHCP is enabled by default on the switch. If you

connect the switch to a network with a DHCP server, the switch obtains its network

information automatically. You can use the Smart Control Center to discover the

automatically-assigned network information. For more information, see Switch Discovery

in a Network with a DHCP Server on page 13

• Static assignment through the Smart Control Center—If you connect the switch to a

network that does not have a DHCP server, you can use the Smart Control Center to

assign a static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. For more information, see

Switch Discovery in a Network without a DHCP Server on page 15

• Static assignment by connecting from a local host—If you do not want to use the Smart

Control Center to assign a static address, you can connect to the switch from a host

(administrative system) in the 192.168.0.0/24 network and change the settings by using

the Web-based management interface on the switch. For information about how to set the

IP address on the administrative system so it is in the same subnet as the default IP

address of the switch, see Configuring the Network Settings on the Administrative

System on page 16.
