If you allow the switch to automatically configure its own IP information you need 
to discover and view the IP information before you can begin to manage the 
switch. You can discover the IP information by:

■

Connecting a workstation to the switch’s console port using a console cable. 
You can then manually enter the IP information using the command line 
interface (CLI).

■

Using Network Director or 3Com Network Supervisor. These applications 
auto-discover the switch and display the automatically allocated IP information 
assigned to the switch.

■

Reviewing information in your DHCP Server. The DHCP server in your network 
may log IP address assignments.  By reviewing this log, you may be able to 
determine the device's IP address.  Refer to your DHCP Server documentation 
for details.

You can view the automatically configured IP information using the command line 
interface (CLI) through a connection to the console port. This example describes a 
local connection to the console port, rather than a remote one using a modem. 
For further information on connecting using the console port see “Connecting the 
Workstation to the Switch”on page 42.

You are now ready to view the automatically allocated IP information using the 
command line interface. To do so:

Connect your switch to the network using the Ethernet cable. As soon as a 
network connection is made the switch begins the automatic IP configuration 
process.

The CLI login sequence begins as soon as the switch detects a connection to its 
console port.

At the login and password prompts, enter 

 as your user name and press 

Return at the password prompt. If you have logged on correctly, <4210> is 
displayed as shown in Figure 30.
