Dell PowerConnect J-Series J-EX8216 Ethernet Switch Hardware Guide Connecting and Configuring a J-EX Series Switch (J-Web Procedure) There are two ways to connect and configure a J-EX Series switch: one method is through the console using the CLI and the other is using the J-Web interface. This topic describes the J-Web procedure. NOTE: Before you begin the configuration, enable a DHCP client on the management PC you will connect to the switch so that the switch can obtain an IP address dynamically. NOTE: Read the following steps before you begin the configuration. You must complete the initial configuration using EZSetup within 10 minutes. The switch exits EZSetup after 10 minutes and reverts to the factory default configuration, and the PC loses connectivity to the switch. The LCD displays a count-down timer when the switch is in initial setup mode. To connect and configure the switch using the J-Web interface: 1. To transition the switch into initial setup mode, use the Menu and Enter buttons located to the right of the LCD panel (see Figure 67 on page 146): Figure 67: LCD Panel in a J-EX8200 Switch a. Press the Menu button until you see MAINTENANCE MENU. Then press the Enter button. b. Press Menu until you see ENTER EZSetup. Then press Enter. If EZSetup does not appear as an option in the menu, select Factory Default to return the switch to the factory default configuration. EZSetup is displayed in the menu only when the switch is set to the factory default configuration. c. Press Enter to confirm setup and continue with EZSetup. 2. Connect the Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on the PC to the port labeled MGMT on the Routing Engine (RE) module in slot RE0. This port is configured as the DHCP server with the default IP address, 192.168.1.1. The switch can assign an IP address to the management PC in the IP address range 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.253. 3. From the PC, open a Web browser, type http://192.168.1.1 in the address field, and press Enter. 146

Connecting and Configuring a J-EX Series Switch (J-Web Procedure)
There are two ways to connect and configure a J-EX Series switch: one method is through
the console using the CLI and the other is using the J-Web interface. This topic describes
the J-Web procedure.
NOTE:
Before you begin the configuration, enable a DHCP client on the
management PC you will connect to the switch so that the switch can obtain
an IP address dynamically.
NOTE:
Read the following steps before you begin the configuration. You
must complete the initial configuration using EZSetup within 10 minutes. The
switch exits EZSetup after 10 minutes and reverts to the factory default
configuration, and the PC loses connectivity to the switch. The LCD displays
a count-down timer when the switch is in initial setup mode.
To connect and configure the switch using the J-Web interface:
1.
To transition the switch into initial setup mode, use the
Menu
and
Enter
buttons located
to the right of the LCD panel (see Figure 67 on page 146):

MAINTENANCE MENU
. Then press the
Enter
button.
b. Press
Menu
until you see
ENTER EZSetup
. Then press
Enter
.
If EZSetup does not appear as an option in the menu, select Factory Default to
return the switch to the factory default configuration. EZSetup is displayed in the
menu only when the switch is set to the factory default configuration.
c.
Press
Enter
to confirm setup and continue with EZSetup.
2.
Connect the Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on the PC to the port labeled
MGMT
on the Routing Engine (RE) module in slot RE0.
This port is configured as the DHCP server with the default IP address,
192.168.1.1
. The
switch can assign an IP address to the management PC in the IP address range
192.168.1.2
through
192.168.1.253
.
3.
From the PC, open a Web browser, type
