How to change the IP address of the smart and L2 managed switches using the new GUI and CLI

In factory default setting, all the ports belong to VLAN 1, so you can access the switch using the IP address of VLAN 1, which is 192.168.0.1.

Therefore, if you need to change the IP address, you can just change the IP address of VLAN 1.

For Smart switches (T1500 and T1500G series switches)

● Using the GUI

1. Go to SYSTEM > System Info > System IP, and configure the IP address of the switch.

2. Click to save the settings.

Follow these command lines to change the IP address:

Switch#configure

Switch(config)#interface vlan 1

Switch(config-if)#ip address 192.168.0.100 255.255.255.0

The connection will be interrupted and you should telnet to the switch's new IP address 192.168.0.100.

C:\Users\Administrator>telnet 192.168.0.100
