Assign a fixed IP address by connecting directly to the switch
off-network
If you cannot connect to the switch over a network connection, you can
set the IP address of the switch by using an Ethernet cable to connect directly to the
switch.
To disable the switch's DHCP client and change the IP address of the switch to a
fixed IP address through a direct connection:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer to an Ethernet port on the switch.
2. Change the IP address of your computer to be in the same subnet as the default IP
address of the switch.
The default IP address of the switch is 192.168.0.239. This means that you must
change the IP address of the computer to be on the same subnet as the default IP
address of the switch (192.168.0.x).
The method to change the IP address on your computer depends on the operating
system of your computer.
3. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
switch, or connected directly to the switch through an Ethernet cable.
4. Enter 192.168.0.239 as the IP address of the switch.
The login page displays.
5. Enter the device management password.
