  • Page 17: Step 7: Connecting To The Console Port To Manage The Switch (Initial Configuration)

    To learn the IP address, you must first access the Command Line management via the console interface. After you power-up the switch for the first time, you can connect to it using a VT100/ANSI terminal or a PC, Apple Macintosh, or UNIX workstation that is directly connected to the switch’s console port.

  • Page 18: Figure 3-4. System Information

    The example above uses “192.168.1.100” as IP address, and “192.168.1.1” as gateway IP address. You should provide your own IP address in the above command. If you want to use your web browser, or telnet session to manage your switch, note the IP address on the Figure 3-4. System Information.
  • Page 19 GUI. See User Guide on how to enable SNMP access. Note: The switch IP address is by default using DHCP mode to assign its address. If you leave the switch IP mode in the default DHCP mode, the IP address of your switch could change, and you would have to reconnect to the switch via the console port to discover the new IP address.
