Assign a Management IP Address and Subnet Mask to the Switch; the
Default Gateway address is optional and can be added later (refer to
“Startup Configuration Requirements” on page 3-2 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.
5. Click Apply to configure the Management IP Address, Subnet Mask,
and Default Gateway on the Switch. The IP Address Configuration Utility
display disappears.
When the Switch has completed updating its configuration with the
Management IP Address, Subnet Mask, and optional Default Gateway,
your default Web browser will automatically open to the Contivity
Extranet Switch Welcome display.
6.
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. Other-
wise, you will need to follow the Serial Interface Configuration proce-
dure to access your Switch because it will not be accessible from a
Web browser with an invalid address.
