30 CHAPTER 3: C ONNECTING TO THE WEB I NTERFACEAccessing the Interface Without UsingDiscoveryThe Discovery application works byautomatically detecting the IP address that isassigned to the Switch, and then using thataddress to connect to the Web interface. If youknow the Switch’s IP address, you can accessthe Web interface without using Discovery.This section describes how to access the inter-face directly, without using Discovery.If you do not configure the Switch’s IP addresssettings, it will perform auto IP configuration toassign an IP address to itself. For more informa-tion, refer to “Automatic IP Configuration” onpage 33.To determine the IP address that the Switch willassign to itself during auto IP configuration,check the sticker on the base of the Switch.This sticker contains the MAC address anddefault IP address of the Switch.DHCP Assigned IP AddressIf you set the IP address mode to DHCP, checkthe DHCP server for the IP address that isassigned to the Switch, and then use that IPaddress to access the Web interface.For example, if the DHCP server assigned the IPaddress 192.168.0.123 to the Switch, startyour Web browser, and then typehttp://192.168.0.123.Manually Assigned (Static) IP AddressIf you assigned a static IP address to the Switch,you need to use that IP address to access theWeb interface the next time you want toconfigure the Switch.For example, if you assigned the Switch the IPaddress 192.168.0.123, start your Webbrowser, and then type http://192.168.0.123.
