ProSAFE FS526Tv2, FS726Tv2, and FS728TLP Smart Switches Connect the Smart Switch to the Network To enable remote management of the smart switch through the web management interface or SNMP, you need to connect the smart switch to the network and configure it with network information (an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway). The smart switch has a default IP address of 192.168.0.239 and a default subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. To change the default network information on the smart switch, use one of the following three methods: • Dynamic assignment through DHCP. DHCP is enabled by default on the smart switch. If you connect the smart switch to a network with a DHCP server, the smart switch obtains its network information automatically. Use the Smart Control Center to discover the automatically assigned network information. For more information, see Use Automatic Switch Discovery for a Network with a DHCP Server on page 29. For more information about the Smart Control Center, see Appendix A, Smart Control Center Utilities. • Static assignment through the Smart Control Center. If you connect the smart switch to a network that does not have a DHCP server, use the Smart Control Center to assign a static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. For more information, see Use Automatic Switch Discovery for a Network without a DHCP Server on page 32. For more information about the Smart Control Center, see Appendix A, Smart Control Center Utilities. • Static assignment by connecting from local computer. If you do not want to use the Smart Control Center to assign a static address, you can connect to the smart switch from a computer (administrative system) in the 192.168.0.0/24 network and change the settings by using the web management interface on the smart switch. For information about how to set the IP address on the computer so it is in the same subnet as the default IP address of the smart switch, see Configure the Network Settings from a Local Computer on page 34. Use Automatic Switch Discovery for a Network with a DHCP Server This section describes how to set up your smart switch in a network that has a DHCP server. The DHCP client on the smart switch is enabled by default. When you connect the smart switch to your network, the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to the smart switch. Use the Smart Control Center to discover the IP address that is automatically assigned to the smart switch. Connect the Smart Switch to Your Network 29
