26 CHAPTER 3: CONNECTING TO THE WEB INTERFACE
Accessing the Interface Without Using
Discovery
The Discovery application works by automatically
detecting the IP address that is assigned to the
Switch, and then using that address to connect to the
Web interface. If you know the Switch’s IP address,
you can access the Web interface without using
Discovery.
This section describes how to access the interface
directly, without using Discovery.
If you do not configure the Switch’s IP address
settings, it will perform auto IP configuration to
assign an IP address to itself. For more information,
refer to “Automatic IP Configuration” on page 29.
To determine the IP address that the Switch will assign
to itself during auto IP configuration, check the
sticker on the base of the Switch. This sticker contains
the MAC address and default IP address of the
Switch.
DHCP Assigned IP Address
If you set the IP address mode to DHCP, check the
DHCP server for the IP address that is assigned to the
Switch, and then use that IP address to access the
Web interface.
For example, if the DHCP server assigned the IP
address 192.168.0.123 to the Switch, start your Web
browser, and then type
http://192.168.0.123.
Manually Assigned (Static) IP Address
If you assigned a static IP address to the Switch, you
need to use that IP address to access the Web
interface the next time you want to configure the
Switch.
For example, if you assigned the Switch the IP address
192.168.0.123, start your Web browser, and then
type
http://192.168.0.123.
