Configure a static IP address from a directly connected
computer
If you do not want to use the Smart Control Center to configure the network information on
the switch, you can change the IP address of the switch by connecting an Ethernet cable
from a computer to the switch.The IP address of the computer must be in the same subnet as
the default IP address on the switch. For most networks, this means that you must change
the IP address of the computer to be on the same subnet as the default IP address of the
switch (192.168.0.239).
To configure a static IP address on the switch:
1. Change the IP settings of your computer to be in the same subnet as the IP settings of
the switch.
If the DHCP client of the switch is enabled and you remove the switch from the network
with the DHCP server
, the IP address reverts to the default IP address of 192.168.0.239
with a subnet of 255.255.255.0.
Note: If you already disabled the DHCP client and assigned a static IP
address to the switch,
change the IP settings of your computer to be in
the same subnet a
s
the static IP address.
