- The switch will attempt to acquire an IP address if there is a DHCP server in the network. If the switch cannot acquire an IP address through DHCP, it uses the factory default IP address of 192.168.1.254, with a subnet mask of /24.
● If the switch is using the factory default IP address of 192.168.1.254/24, you must choose an IP address for the computer in the range of 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.253 that is not already in use. - Open a web browser window.
- Enter the switch IP address in the address bar and press Enter. For example, http://192.168.1.254.
The Switch Login Page displays. - Enter the default login information:
● Username is cisco
● Default password is cisco (passwords are case-sensitive) - Click Log In.
You are now ready to configure the switch. Refer to the Administration Guide for further information.
