Before you are able to communicate with the switch, you must know the IP address of the

IP = 192.168.1.100
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway = 192.168.1.253
Once you know the IP address, follow these instructions:

: If you make changes to the configuration, you must
save
the configuration before
rebooting the switch.
