After you complete Express Setup, you should refresh the PC IP address.
For a dynamically assigned IP address, disconnect the PC from the switch, and
reconnect it to the network. The network DHCP server will assign a new IP
address to the PC.
For a statically assigned IP address, change it to the previously configured IP
address.
After completing Express Setup and installing the switch in your network, use the
device manager, Cisco Network Assistant, or another of the management options
described in this section for further configuration.
The simplest way to manage the switch is by using the device manager that is in
the switch memory. This is an easy-to-use web interface that offers quick
configuration and monitoring. You can access the device manager from anywhere
in your network through a web browser.
Follow these steps:
Launch a web browser on your PC or workstation.
