Dell PowerConnect 2716 IP connection
Hi,
I recently got a Dell PowerConnect 2716 which I would like to use. Problem is I can not contact the seller anymore and I have not been able to access the managed interface of the switch.
I have tried resetting it: holding the managed mode button for 10+ seconds and then it restarts. It should have set all settings to factory and then the ip to access the switch GUI should be 192.168.2.1 according to the user manual but when I try to open that in my web browser (Chrome, IE, Edge) it can't connect.
Any ideas what is going wrong here?
-Does the switch need to have the Uplink connected to my router already for the managed interface GUI to work?
-Can I just connect to any port of the switch and then browse to 192.168.2.1?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
What is the ip range of the PC you have connected to the switch? Is it on the same subnet?

Thanks for the tip and help. I have made 3 ipconfigs: one when I am connected to my modem directly, one without any connection (wifi shut down and no ethernet cable plugged in) and one with no wifi connection but with the ethernet cable connected to the switch.
Connected to modem directly:
No wifi nor ethernet connection:
No wifi but connected to the switch:
Not sure what this actually means or what the difference is between the "Ethernet adapter" and "Ethernet adapter vEthernet", but I'm willing to learn..

I'm not sure what you mean exactly?
I simply plugged in a connection between the ethernet port of my laptop and then to the switch (tried different ports). What should I do to give you the information you need, just ipconfig when connected?
Thanks!
