f. For Subnet mask, enter 255.255.255.0, then click OK.
g. Click Close (or OK) to close the Local Area Connection Properties screen.
2. Open your Web browser on the PC, and enter the switch factory-default address, http://192.168.1.1, to
access the switch’s Web interface.
3. Click Log on to log on to the switch (by default, there is no password).
4. Click Network Setup > Get Connected and configure IP network settings on the switch for operation on
your network.
IMPORTANT:
When the switch starts, it attempts to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. If the DHCP server
is unreachable, the switch falls back to a static IP address, that is, 192.168.1.1. If a DHCP address is
obtained then you must determine the IP address assigned to the switch. To determine the IP
address, access your DHCP server files or use LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) commands on
a connected device (such as another switch). For more information on Initial Configuration, see the
HPE OfficeConnect 1820 Installation and Getting Started Guide available at http://www.hpe.com/

.
5. Click Apply on the browser configuration screen to save your settings to retain them when the switch is
rebooted.
You are done with initial switch configuration. Disconnect the LAN cable from your PC and connect the switch
in to the network.
Be sure to return your PC to its original network settings before connecting to your network.
SFP Installation Notes

When selecting a fiber SFP device, make sure it can function at a maximum temperature that is not less
than the recommended maximum operational temperature of the product. Use only an approved Laser
Class 1 SFP transceiver.
NOTE:
To ensure proper operation of your switch, use only the HPE Aruba SFP transceivers supported by your
switch.
Use only supported HPE Aruba SFP transceivers. Non-HPE Aruba SFP transceivers are not supported.
Use of supported HPE Aruba products ensures that your network maintains optimal performance and
reliability. If you require additional transceivers, contact an HPE Aruba sales representative or an authorized
reseller. The following resources can help you to find transceiver support information for your switch model:
