2.
Assign a Management IP Address and Subnet Mask to the Switch; the
Default Gateway address is optional and you can add it later (see
Startup Configuration Requirements on page 4-2 for descriptions of the
required fields).
If you have more than one Switch, click Search to automatically add the
additional Switch serial numbers. To verify the switches that have been
discovered, you can refer to the serial number on the bar code on the
bottom of the Switch. The serial number on the back of the Switch is that
of the motherboard manufacturer.
3.
Click Apply to configure the Management IP Address, Subnet Mask,
and Default Gateway on the Switch. The IP Address Configuration Utility
screen disappears.
When the Switch updates its configuration with the Management IP
Address, Subnet Mask, and optional Default Gateway, your default Web
browser automatically opens to the Contivity Extranet Switch Welcome
screen.
4.
Click Close to shut down the IP Address Configuration Utility.
Note:
Before moving the Switch from one network to another, change the
Management IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway.
Otherwise, you need to follow the Serial Interface Configuration
procedure to access your Switch because it will not be accessible from a
Web browser with an invalid address.
