NOTE
If you see a caution message saying the IP address is not reachable, always select Yes (the default
setting) under Do you want to assign a static IP to the Switch? Selecting No causes EZSwitchSetup
to continuously try to establish a Telnet session with the switch, which does not, as yet, have a
reachable IP address. If you have previously enabled DHCP on the switch (refer to “Installing and
running the EZSwitchSetup wizard”), you may select No.
d. Click Next.
EZSwitchSetup attempts to log in using default credentials. If you have already changed
your admin password, you will be prompted to enter your new password. After the login is
processed, the Set Switch IP Address screen is displayed (Figure 9).

7. Beginning at this step, the steps are the same for both serial and Ethernet connections. If you
are setting up the switch for the first time, the addresses shown are not valid. If you click Next
with these addresses in place, EZSwitchSetup returns an error screen. To set up IPv4
addresses, edit the address information on the Set Switch IP Address screen to create static
addresses appropriate for your LAN connection. To set up IPv6 addresses, enter the IPv6
address and Prefix in the spaces provided.
8. Click Next.
9. Go on to “Confirming IP addresses”.
