Set Up the Switch IP Address
After you cable the switch, you set up the switch IPv4 andIPv6 addresses. Once the IP addresses
have been set they cannot be deleted, only edited. There are two ways that you can set up the IP
addresses. The first way is to use a serial connection described next and the second way is using a
DHCP server.
There are several requirements to set up the switch using DHCP:
• the switch must come to you pre-configured with the DHCP client turned on
• you must have a DHCP server in your network environment
• the switch must have firmware version 5.2 or higher
At the conclusion of this procedure, you exit the EZSwitchSetup wizard and launch the
EZSwitchSetup Switch Configuration Manager.
