This Quick Setup Guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to set up
Quantum® Networks Switches. After completing the steps described in this Guide,
you will be able to install the Switch on-site.
Onboarding Quantum Networks Switches
Accessing Quantum Networks Switches requires you to have Quantum RUDDER account. So
if you don’t have your RUDDER account activated yet, this might as well be the right time to
do so. Quantum RUDDER is a cloud-hosted controller which can be used to configure,
manage & monitor devices associated with it. You can get your account created and
activated by visiting https://rudder.qntmnet.com.
Once you have activated your RUDDER account, you can easily Configure and Onboard QN
Switches on your own without requiring any additional support by following these simple
steps. Before we start the configuration, you need to pre-configure the device to get to the
configuration page.
Let’s see the steps on how to do this.
Pre-configure:
Get the IP Address to access the Switch configuration page with any of the three
methods mentioned below.
-Using Failover IP
-Using Network IP
-Using OOB IP

Let’s see how to get it done using Failover IP first.
The default failover IP is 169.254.x.x, where 169.254 is constant & Last 2 Digits are based on
the MAC address of the Switch.
To Get the IP Address, first note the MAC address of the Switch.
Convert the last 4 Hex digits of the Switch MAC address into Decimal using Hex to
Decimal converter.
Note: You can use any Hex to Decimal converter
like “https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/hex-to-binary.html”.
For example, the MAC address of the Switch is 58:61:63:00:C5:E1, where the last four digits are “C5:E1”.
Now convert C5 and E1 to Decimal. C5 Decimal value will come as “197”, and the value of E1 will come
as “225”. As per this, the switch failover IP will come as 169.254.197.225.
Now, Assign 169.254.1.20 (or any IP address of 169.254.x.x series except Switch’s failover IP)
static IP address to the Desktop/Laptop device LAN port.
Open the browser and browse Switch’s Failover IP.
You will get to the Configuration page.
Now, let’s see how to get it done using Network IP.
Connect the Switch in the network where the Switch can have its IP address (Having
Static IP or will take with DHCP mode).Open the browser and browse Switch IP.
That will take you to the Configuration page.

Now, let’s see how to get it done using OOB IP.
The OOB IP is 192.168.254.254. Now, Assign 192.168.254.10 (or any IP address of
192.168.254.x series except Switch’s OOB IP) static IP address with default subnet to
the Desktop/Laptop and connect to the device OOB port.
Open the browser and browse Switch’s OOB IP (192.168.254.254).You will be on the
configuration page.The Configuration page will display details like Device model
number, Serial number, MAC address, and Current firmware right in front of each
field. Locate the "Configuration" option at the bottom of the page and click on it.
