Initial Switch Setup and Management Flow Diagram
CAUTION:
To protect your switch from unauthorized access, you must change all
three default passwords as soon as possible, even if you do not intend to actively
manage your switch. For more information on default users and changing default
passwords, see “Default Users and Passwords” on page 47.
IP Configuration
You can use one of the following methods to allocate IP information to your
switch (essential if you wish to manage your switch across the network).
Configuring IP Manually
When you configure the IP information, the switch retains the information that
you enter until you change it again. You should configure manually configure the
IP address if:
■
You do not have a DHCP or BootP server on your network.
■
You want to remove the risk of the IP address changing.
■
Your DHCP or BootP server does not allow you to allocate static IP addresses.
(Static IP addresses are necessary to ensure that the switch is always allocated
the same IP information.)
