change GS108Tv2 ip address?
I want to change the switch's IP address from 192.168.0.239 to 192.168.1.239
I can't figure out how to do this in the Smart Control Center v1.1.3.2
I'd like to be able to do stuff like update the f/w, change it's "password", use the web browser access, etc...
but it seems I can't because all of my current devices are on a different (192.168.1.x) subnet; and I'd rather just change the IP address of this one switch instead of changing everything else.
Can I do this while leaving my router set to DHCP? (Which I think I'd like to do simply because the router and this switch are working as is and because despite otherwise being a techie I've always found networking stressfully daunting.)
Hi coyote2,
Kindly try the steps below:
1. Disconnect the GS108Tv2 from the existing network. The GS108Tv2 will default back to its IP address which is 192.168.0.239.
2. Connect a PC/laptop to a LAN port of the GS108Tv2.
3. Set a static IP address of 192.168.0.210 on the PC/laptop.
4. Open a browser like Google Chrome or Firefox then at the address bar, type 192.168.0.239 then press Enter. Login to the user interface of switch. Enter "admin" as the username and "password" as the password.
5. Click System > Management > IP Configuration.
6. On the IP Configuration page, select Static IP address then enter 192.168.1.239 in the field provided as well as the corresponding subnet mask and default gateway then click Apply.
7. Connect the GS108Tv2 back to your existing network and set the PC/laptop to Obtain an IP address automatically.
To test the connectivity, connect a PC/laptop directly to the GS108Tv2. Open command prompt on the PC/laptop, then ping 192.168.1.239 which is the static IP address set on the GS108Tv2 and ping the IP address of the router. You should be able to get replies.
Let us know the results.

Thank you very much for your reply, Carl...but I had carefully read that User Manual before posting. I still couldn't config IP address.
How does one "config its ip via DHCP" with, please? (I see how to do that with web access, but as I said without changing the IP address I only have Smart Control Center.)
