How to access M4250-10G2F-PoE+ From a Mac big Sur

Question

I'm a new to the IT config. I have a brand new M4250-10G2F-PoE+ and trying to access it via mac Pro 2019 Big Sur. Planing to use it with Dante Audio.

Set my Mac:

Using DHCP

Ip Address:169.254.100.210

Sunet Mask: 255.255.0.0

In the browser:

http://169.254.100.100:8080

Nothing opens, this is out of the box unit, only computer is connected to the ports.

Sorry for my beginners question, but I can't move from this point.

Can somebody guide me what to do?

Thank You!

Hi&nbsp;kmozart&nbsp;,
&nbsp;
Welcome to the Community, let me try to help.
&nbsp;
If you alreasy have set a static IP address in this subnet on your Mac, you should be abel to access the Web interface in your browser by just entering 169.254.100.100&nbsp;(so, without the column nor port number)&nbsp;

What I tried first was set in DHCP mode,But trying manually (static IP) with same numbers, does not work.&nbsp;&nbsp;Kosta&nbsp;

Well, the Mac adapter is configured to DHCP, lack of a DHCP sever on that LAN, it does fall-back to a ZeroConfig IP address instead of DHCP. But that's OK.

Why oh why? It's still http://169.254.100.100 for "any" port, respectively&nbsp;http://192.168.0.239 for the OOB port - permitting it's just a direct connection from the Mac to the OOB port, would require a manual adapter config on the Mac into the 192.168.0.x/16 (255.255.0.0) subnet.
Much easier in my unqualified opinon would be a connection of your M4250 switch OOB port to your usual LAN (e.g. the router). There the DHCP does typically assign an IP address, and with the help of the router DHCP table or attached devices MAC you should be able to locate the OOB port IP address, and you can simply reach it from your usual LAN resp. WLAN.
&nbsp;
Before open the web browser, try a ping to the IP addess .... if there is no answer, something is wrong.
