Modifying the IP Address Settings
To enable devices on the network to
communicate with the Switch, you need to
assign an IP address to it — either by DHCP or
by assigning a static IP address.
By default, the Switch performs automatic IP
configuration and assigns an IP address to
itself. This is necessary for the Discovery
application to be able to connect to the Web
interface.
Automatic IP Configuration
When you power on the Switch for the first
time, it automatically uses the default IP
address
169.254.x.y, where x and y are the
last two bytes of its MAC address.
