1 Connect your computer to the Switch’s port which is in VLAN1 (the default management VLAN).
2 Open your web browser and enter 192.168.1.1 (the default management IP address) in the address
bar to access the web configurator. See Section 4.2 on page 25 for more information. Your
computer must have an IP address in the range between “192.168.1.2” and “192.168.1.254”.
3 Log in with the admin account.
4 Click Configuration > System > IP in the navigation panel.
5 Enter 172.16.13.5 as the Switch’s new management IP
address, 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask and
172.16.13.2 as the gateway’s IP address.
Alternatively, you can select the DHCP Client check box to have the Switch act as a DHCP client
and get an IP address from the DHCP server to which the Switch is connected. Click Renew to
update the IP address and DNS server information after you click Save. The IP address assigned by
a DHCP server has priority over the IP address you manually configured.
6 The VLAN ID field lets you enter the ID of the VLAN group to which you want this management IP
address to belong. This is the same as the VLAN ID you configure in the Configuration > VLANs
> VLAN Membership screen. In this example, leave the field at 1.
7 Click Save to save your changes back to the Switch.
Note: The Web Configurator may no longer be accessible unless you log in with the new
IP address. Check the DHCP server for the Switch’s dynamically assigned IP
address when it is working as a DHCP client.
5.2 How to Configure Login Accounts and Privilege Levels
The admin account has a privilege level of 15, so the administrator can perform all types of system
configuration. You cannot change the user name and privilege level of the admin account. You can
create new login accounts the user used to log in to the Switch and manage the privilege levels for
login accounts.
