Set up the IP configuration on your computer.
a. If the switch is using the default static IP address of 192.168.1.254/24, you must choose an
IP address for the computer in the range of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.253 that is not already
in use.
b. If the IP addresses will be assigned by DHCP, make sure that your DHCP server is running
and can be reached from the switch and the computer. You may need to disconnect and
reconnect the devices for them to discover their new IP addresses from the DHCP server.
Details on how to change the IP address on your computer depend upon the type
