Configure Network Settings
via Device Manager You can apply one of the following setup modes to the switch after you run
Express Setup as described on
page 26 :
•
Express Setup—Enables the switch to operate as a managed switch with
a default configuration that supports industrial automation applications.
Express Setup is the default setup mode.
•
Plug-n-Play (PnP)—Enables the switch to operate as an unmanaged
switch without an IP address.
Configure PnP server settings to enable the switch to send a work
request to a PnP server for further device configuration. The PnP agent
is a software application on the switch. When the switch is powered on
for the first time, the PnP agent discovery process, which is embedded in
the switch, wakes up in the absence of the startup configuration file and
attempts to discover the address of the PnP server. The PnP agent uses
methods like DHCP, Domain Name System (DNS), and others to
acquire the IP address of the PnP server. Once a server is found and
connection established, the agent performs activities, such as
configuration, image, license, and file updates by communicating with
the server.
If an auto discovery mechanism is not available, you can use the PnP
configuration option from Express Setup to configure the initial switch
settings and PnP server information.
Apply the PnP Setup Mode
To apply the PnP setup mode to the switch, follow these steps.
