• CLI . Use the command-line interface (CLI) through the mini USB
console port or RJ-45 RS232 console port. You can configure the
IP address manually or use the ezconfig utility (see
Use the CLI to
configure the IP address on page 16).
• DHCP server . Connect a DHCP server through the OOB port or
through any Ethernet network port and find the assigned IP address
(see Find the IP address assigned by the DHCP server on page 18).
After you configure or find the IP address of the switch, you can configure
the features of the switch through either the local browser UI or the CLI.
Use the local browser UI to configure the IP address
You can use a computer on the same subnet as the switch to access the
local browser UI over the switch’s default IP address and assign a different
static IP address to the switch.
1. Configure your computer with a static IP address:
• For access over an Ethernet network port, use an IP address in the
169.254.0.0/16 subnet. For example, use 169.254.100.201 .
• For access over the OOB port, use an IP address in the
192.168.0.0/16 subnet. For example, use 192.168.0.100.
