Configuring and
Managing the Switch
You don’t need to read this chapter unless you want to change the
Express Switching Hub’s default configuration (see Appendix A for a
list of defaults) or intend to manage the switch. The switch is ready to
go simply by plugging it in and turning the power on.
However, if you need to change the default configuration or manage
the switch, there are two ways:
• Use SNMP-compliant management software (not included).
However, you must first use the Console Manager to assign an IP
address to the switch.
• Use the Express Switching Hub’s internal Console Manager.
