   MGS-6320-8HP2X# configure terminal
   MGS-6320-8HP2X (config)# interface vlan 1
   GS-5220 Series(config-if-vlan)# ip address 192.168.1.100 255.255.255.0
   The previous command would apply the following settings for the Managed Switch.

At the “#” prompt, enter the following command and press .

# copy running-config startup-config

Please make sure the manager PC must be set to the same IP subnet address.
For example, the default IP address of the Managed Switch is 192.168.0.100, then the manager PC should be set to 192.168.0.x (where x is a number between 1 and 254, except 100), and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

Logging in to the Managed Switch

1. Use Internet Explorer 8.0 or above Web browser and enter IP address http://192.168.0.100 (the factory default IP address or the one that you have just changed in console) to access the Web interface.
