Page 12 Connecting the Switch to a Network
1 Getting Started
This chapter describes how to make the initial connections to the switch and provides an overview of
the web interface.
Connecting the Switch to a Network
To enable remote management of the switch through a web browser, the switch must be connected to
the network. By default, the switch is configured to acquire an IP address from a DHCP server on the
network. If the switch does not obtain an address from a DHCP server, the switch will be assigned the
IP address 192.168.1.1.
To access the web interface on the switch by using the default IP address:
1. Connect the switch to the management PC or to the network using any of the available network
ports.
2. Power on the switch.
3. Set the IP address of the management PC’s network adapter to be in the same subnet as the
switch.
For example, set it to IP address 192.168.1.2, mask 255.255.255.0.
4. Enter the IP address 192.168.1.1 in the web browser. See page 13 for web browser requirements.
Thereafter, use the web interface to configure a different IP address or configure the switch as a DHCP
client so that it receives a dynamically assigned IP address from the network.
After the switch is able to communicate on your network, enter its IP address into your web browser’s
address field to access the switch management features.
NOTE:
To use DHCP for IP network configuration, the switch must be connected to the same network as
the DHCP server. You will need to access your DHCP server to determine the IP address
assigned to the switch.
The switch supports LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol), allowing discovery of its IP address
from a connected device or management station.
If DHCP is used for configuration and the switch fails to be configured, the IP address 192.168.1.1
is assigned to the switch interface.

Getting Started With the Web Interface 13
Operating System and Browser Support
The following operating systems and browsers with JavaScript enabled are supported:

You can use the Setup Network pages to configure how a management computer connects to the
switch, to setup system time settings, and to manage switch administrator accounts and passwords.
Get Connected
Use the Get Connected page to configure settings for the network interface. The network interface is
defined by an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway. Any one of the switch's front-panel ports can be
selected as the management port for the network interface. The configuration parameters associated
with the switch's network interface do not affect the configuration of the front-panel ports through which
traffic is switched or forwarded except that, for the management port, the port VLAN ID (PVID) will be
the management VLAN.
To display the Get Connected page, click Setup Network > Get Connected.
In the example configuration in Figure 5, the switch is configured to acquire its IP address through
DHCP, which is the default setting. Access to the management software is restricted to members of
VLAN 1.

Table 2. Get Connected Fields
Field Description
Network Details
Internet Protocol Address Select whether to configure the IPv4 or IPv6 information for the switch. The rest of the fields
in the Network Details section depend on the option you select.
IPv4 Network Details
Protocol Type Select the type of network connection:
Static—Select this option to enable the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway fields for
data entry.
DHCP—Select this option to enable the switch to obtain IP information from a DHCP
server on the network. If the DHCP server responds, then the assigned IP address is
used. If DHCP is enabled but the DHCP server does not respond, the default static IP
address 192.168.1.1 is used. DHCP operation is enabled by default.
When a DHCP server assigns an IP address to the switch, it specifies the time for which the
assignment is valid. After the time expires, the server may reclaim the address for assignment
to another device. When DHCP is enabled, you can click to send a request to the DHCP
server to renew the lease.
Only a user-configured static IP address is saved to flash.
CAUTION: Changing the protocol type or IP address discontinues the current connection;
you can log on again using the new IP information.
IP Address The IPv4 address for the switch.
If the Protocol Type is set to DHCP, this field displays the IP address assigned by the DHCP
server. If the Protocol Type is set to Static, the IP address can be manually configured in this
field. The default IP address is 192.168.1.1.
Note: A broadcast, multicast, or network IP address should not be entered in this field.
Subnet Mask The IPv4 subnet address to be used. The default IP subnet address is 255.255.255.0.
Gateway Address The IPv4 gateway address to be used. When in doubt, set this to be the same as the default
gateway address used by your PC.
MAC Address The hardware MAC address of this switch.
IPv6 Network Details
IPv6 Mode Enables or disables the IPv6 administrative mode on the network interface.
Network Configuration
Protocol
Specify whether the device should attempt to acquire network information from a DHCPv6
server. Selecting None disables the DHCPv6 client on the network interface.
IPv6 Stateless Address
AutoConfig Mode
Sets the IPv6 stateless address autoconfiguration mode on the network interface.
Enabled – The network interface can acquire an IPv6 address through IPv6 Neighbor
Discovery Protocol (NDP) and through the use of Router Advertisement messages.
Disabled – The network interface will not use the native IPv6 address autoconfiguration
features to acquire an IPv6 address.
Static IPv6 Addresses Specify the IPv6 address to add to the interface.
Dynamic IPv6 Addresses Lists the IPv6 addresses on the network interface that have been dynamically configured
through IPv6 autoconfiguration or DHCPv6.
EUI Flag Select this option to enable the Extended Universal Identifier (EUI) flag for IPv6 address, or
clear the option to omit the flag.
DHCPv6 Client DUID The client identifier used by the DHCPv6 client (if enabled) when sending messages to the
DHCPv6 server.
IPv6 Gateway Specify the default gateway for the IPv6 network interface.
