NETGEAR M4350-24F4V 24-Port 10G SFP+ Managed AV Network Switch - Manual (Page 77)

Configure an IPv4 management VLAN
For you to manage the switch over the main UI, you must define the management IP
address. A management VLAN interface is created by default and it gets an IP address
if a DHCP server is present. If the management VLAN interface cannot get an IP address,
the automatically assigned fallback IPv4 address is 169.254.100.100 and the subnet
mask is 255.255.0.0.
A management VLAN is used as the default source interface for the syslog, the message
log, an SNMP client, and so on. The network interface is disabled by default.
The management VLAN is the logical interface used for in-band connectivity with the
switch through any of the switch’s front panel ports. The configuration parameters
associated with the switch’s management VLAN do not affect the configuration of the
front panel ports through which traffic is switched or routed.
To access the switch over a network you must first configure an IP address and subnet
mask for the switch. You can configure the IP information using any of the following:
• DHCP
• Terminal interface through the EIA-232 port
After you establish in-band connectivity, you can change the IP information using any
of the following:
• Terminal interface through the EIA-232 port
• Terminal interface through Telnet
• SNMP-based management
• Web-based management
To configure an IPv4 management VLAN or reset the IPv4 management VLAN:
1. Launch a web browser.
2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Log in to the main UI with a web
browser on page 27 and the subsections.
The login page displays.
3. Click the Main UI Login button.
The main UI login page displays in a new tab.
4. Enter admin as the user name, enter your local device password, and click the Login
button.
The first time that you log in, no password is required. However, you then must
specify a local device password to use each subsequent time that you log in.
The System Information page displays.
