Click Apply to configure the Management IP Address, Subnet
Mask, and Default Gateway on the Switch. The IP Address
Configuration Utility display disappears.

When the Switch has completed updating its configuration with the
Management IP Address, Subnet Mask, and optional Default
Gateway, your default Web browser will automatically open to the
Bay Networks Extranet Switch Welcome display.

5.

Click Close to shut down the IP Address Configuration Utility.

NOTE:

Before moving the Switch from one network to another,

change the Management IP Address, subnet mask, and
default gateway. Otherwise, you will need to follow the Serial
Interface Configuration procedure to access your Switch
because it will not be accessible from a Web browser with an
invalid address.

Serial Interface Configuration

NOTE

: Bay Networks recommends that you use the IP Address

Configuration Utility (refer to page 12) to provide the Switch with its
initial IP configuration information.

Alternatively, you can use this procedure to access the Switch via the Serial
Interface of your PC. Typically the Serial Interface configuration procedure is
only necessary in a system recovery situation. The Serial Interface allows you
to give the Switch a Management IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP
Address so that you can use a Web browser for management.
