Default Gateway The IP address for the default gateway. A gateway is a router or a dedicated network
device that enables the switch to communicate with devices in other networks or
subnetworks. The default gateway IP address should be part of the same subnet as the
switch IP address. The switch IP address and the default gateway IP address cannot be
the same.
If all of your devices are in the same network and a default gateway is not used, you do
not need to enter an IP address in this field. This field is enabled only if the IP
Assignment mode is Static.
You must specify a default gateway if your network management station and the switch
are in different networks or subnetworks. Otherwise, the switch and your network
management station cannot communicate.
Password You must provide a password to the switch to secure the access to the Device Manager
Web interface. This password is also used as the Control and Information Protocol (CIP)
security password.
Change the password from the default password, ‘switch’.
The password you choose for the switch follows these guidelines:
• Can have up to 63 alphanumeric characters
• Can start with a number
• Is case sensitive
• Can have embedded spaces
• Cannot be a single digit
• Cannot contain a ? or a tab
• Does not allow spaces at the beginning or the end
Confirm Password Enter the switch password again.
