If you want to use an SNMP management application, you will need to note the IP address and to
configure the SNMP settings in your switch so that it will respond to SNMP requests. This
configuration can be done through either the console or web browser GUI.
Note: You need to know the IP address of the switch in order to use your browser or SNMP application to
