the IP addresses of the switches and avoid administrators from
unintentionally accessing the wrong devices. As shown below, there are
two switches in the environment. Both default IP addresses of the two
switches are 192.168.1.1.
Two switches are using the same default IP address
1.3.1 Configuration in the Switch-2

2 Set the PC’s IP address on to the same subnet as the switches.
For example, set the PC IP address as
192.168.1.100 .
