Assign a fixed IP address to the switch
By default, the switch is configured to automatically receive an IP address from a DHCP
server (or a router that functions as a DHCP server) in your network. However, certain
events can cause the DHCP server to issue a new IP address to the switch, so if you need
the switch to persistently have the same IP address, you can assign a fixed (static) IP
address to the switch. For example, you may want to attach a shared device such as a
printer or file server, configure port forwarding, or set up the switch so you can connect
remotely from a mobile device.
To change the IP address of the switch, use one of the following methods:
•
Connect to the switch through the network: If the switch and your computer are
connected to the same network, you can change the IP address of the switch through
a network connection (see Set a fixed IP address for the switch through a network
connection on page 22).
•
Connect directly to the switch: If you cannot connect to the switch over a network
connection, you can change the IP address of the switch by using an Ethernet cable
to connect a directly to the switch (see Assign a fixed IP address by connecting
directly to the switch off-network on page 23).
