Default Gateway
192.168.1.1
255.255.255.0
192.168.1.254
10.1.1.1
255.255.255.0
10.1.1.254
NOTE
There are no default DNS settings. DNS addresses are assigned by the network
administrator.
You can first either configure your PC’s IP address or change the switch’s IP address, then change the default
gateway’s IP address and subnet mask.
For example, suppose your network address is 10.1.1.0, and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. You can change
the switch’s default IP address 192.168.1.1 to 10.1.1.1 and set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. Then, choose
the default gateway’s address (for example 10.1.1.254).
After completing these settings, reboot it so the configuration takes effect. After this step, operate the
management through the network, either from a Web browser or Network Management System (NMS). See
Figure 3-8.
