Step 1
Rack Mount iBypass 40-10 Switch
The switch is designed to occupy one rack unit height of a standard 19” rack. Do the
following to install the iBypass 40-10 Switch into an equipment rack:
1. Remove the Ear Extenders and screws from the shipping bag.
2. Attach the Long Ear Extender to the switch if you are only mounting one switch
or attach the Short Ear Extender between two switches if you are mounting two
switches. See Figure 3.
3. Slide the switches in place in the rack.
4. Fasten the switches in place at the front panel ears using the included Phillips
screws.

Step 2
Connect Power
Before connecting power, ground the switch to the rack by connecting a 14AWG
minimum ground wired with a #8 ring lug from the switch to a suitable ground
connection on the rack.
Do the following to connect and apply power to the iBypass 40-10 Switch:
1. Plug one of the supplied power cords to a power connector located at the rear
of the chassis. Plug the other end to a power source. See Figure 4.
2. For redundancy, plug the other power cord to the iBypass 40-10. Plug the
other end to a source independent from the rst power source.
The Power LEDs on the front illuminate.

IP Address: 10.60.4.180 Monitor and Port Thresholds: 80%
Netmask: 255.0.0.0 Username: admin
Gateway: 10.0.0.1 Password: admin
You have two ways of logging into the iBypass 40-10 Switch.
Connect Option 1 - Connect PC to Management Port
1. Establish a PC you want to use to connect to the switch. Make sure it’s IP
address is on the same subnet as the iBypass switch. The default address
settings of the switch are shown above.
2. Connect one end of the included Cat 5e cable to the PC’s Ethernet port and
connect the other end to the iBypass Management port. See Figure 5.
3. Open a terminal window on the PC and ping 10.60.4.180 to conrm the
connection.
4. After you have conrmed that you have a connection, you can log in via SSH at
the terminal prompt, or enter the default address into the browser URL. Go to
the Assign IP in Web UI section if you want to log in through the Web UI. Go to
the next step if you want to log in to the CLI.

Step 4
Congure the IP
The iBypass 40-10 Switch ships with a default address. You can decide to use the
default address, assign a static IPv4 IP address or use DHCP to assign an address.
To congure the system with a static IPv4 address, do the following:
1. At the CLI prompt, type the following to set the address mode to static:
set network mode static
2. Type the following to set the IPv4 address:
set network ipaddress <d.d.d.d> where <d.d.d.d> is the IPv4 address.
3. Type the following to set the network mask:
set network netmask <m.m.m.m> where <m.m.m.m> is the netmask.
4. Type the following to set the gateway:
set network gateway <g.g.g.g> where <g.g.g.g> is the gateway address.
Type reboot, to reboot the system. This is required for the new address to take effect.

13
To congure the system to use a DHCP address, do the following:
1. At the CLI prompt, type the following to set the address mode:
set network mode dhcp
2. At the next prompt, type the following to reboot the device:
reboot
3. After reboot, log into the iBypass via the PC connected to the Console port.
4. At the CLI prompt, enter show network. The screen will display the address
that was assigned to the switch.
After setting the IP address, connect the Management port to the network, if you
have not already done so, in order to access the device remotely over SSH or the
Web UI.

14
Assign IP in Web UI
If you want to change the IP address through the Web UI, do the following:
1. Open a browser on a PC connected to the iBypass switch and on the same
subnet, and enter the default IP address in the URL, https://10.60.4.180.
2. At the iBypass log in banner page, enter Username admin and Password
admin. The Home page displays. See Figure 7.
3. Click on the Admin tab. Under the Users List, enter a new password for the
admin user. Re-enter the new password and click Update. Remember the new
password. You must use the new password for subsequent log ins.
4. Click on the Conguration tab. The Conguration page displays. See Figure 8.
5. The IP Version eld displays IPv4. Do not use IPv6 at this time.
6. In the DHCP eld, select Static or Dhcp.
7. If you select Static, enter the IP address, netmask, and default gateway.
8. If you select Dhcp, your DHCP server will assign an IP address to the iBypass
switch.
9. Click the Apply button for the changes to take effect.
10. After the iBypass has rebooted, enter the new IP address at the URL. The
iBypass home page displays.
