To configure the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway:
1. Ensure that you have the following:
•
A web browser that supports Javascript including, but not limited to:
•

†
browser, version 1.x or later
•
Internet Explorer, version 6.x or later

EB
X Interface is not compatible
with version 4.x)

A host computer that runs one of the above web browsers. The host computer’s web
browser accesses the interfaces embedded in the ACI-2058.
•
An Ethernet connection between the host computer and the switch.
•
An IP address, subnet mask, and gateway (if required) appropriate for your network
to assign to the switch.
2. Connect a host computer to the ACI-2058:

B. Disconnect from your network the host computer you plan to use to assign the
IP address.

The host and switch are now physically connected.
3. Enable communication between the host computer and switch.
A. Access the host computer’s current network settings according to the instructions
provided with the host’s operating system. Note them so that you can restore them at
the end of this process.
B. Temporarily change the host settings to the following:
•
IP address:

the same time. This avoids repeated temporary disconnections of the host computer from
your network.
Note
Ensure that your browser’s Javascript is enabled.
