For the switch and your network management station to communicate, their IP addresses
need to be in the same network or subnetwork. In this example, the switch
and network management station are in the network 172.20.20.0:

1 |
Switch IP address |
172.20.20.85 |
2 |
Network management station IP address |
172.20.20.84 |
When you assigned the switch IP address, the switch
became part of an IP network or subnetwork that is different from the
network or subnetwork to which your network management station belongs. Here is an example of the current status of the switch and
your network management station:

1 |
Switch IP address |
172.20.20.85 |
2 |
Network management station IP address |
10.0.0.2 |
To change the IP address of your network management station, either:
- Connect your network management station to
the network where a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server
allocates IP addresses within the range that is assigned to your switch.
or
- Enter a static IP address
through your network management station control panel by following these steps:
- From your network management station, choose Start
> Settings > Control Panel > Network Connections > Local Area Connection. The
Local Area Connection Properties window appears.
- Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP),
and click Properties.
- Select Use the following IP
Address, and in the IP address text box, enter an IP address
that is in the same subnetwork as the switch.
- Click OK to save your
settings.
- Click OK again to close
the Local Area Connection Properties window.
