The initial set up of your switch is now complete and you can set up your 
management method. See “Methods of Managing a Switch” on page 31.

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 by:

■

Using 3Com Network Director to auto-discover the switch and display the its 
automatically allocated IP information.

■

Connecting a workstation to the switch’s console port using a console cable, 
then using the command line interface to view its automatically assigned IP 
information.

Each method is described in detail below.

You can use the 3Com Network Director application (available from the 3Com 
website) to discover the automatically allocated IP information.

Connect your switch to the network.

Power-up the switch and wait for two minutes.

Launch 3Com Network Director and run the Auto-discovery wizard.

3Com Network Director will auto-discover the new switch and display the IP 
information that has been automatically allocated to the switch.
