Did you give yourself (the computer you are using to view the webadmin) an IP in the same range?
For instance temporarily set you NICs settings to 192.168.2.101 for the IP and 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask. Since you have DHCP set that to enabled once you get on the switch. Hint you will have to reconnect once you have set that setting so it can accept the new IP. Once the witch accepts its new IP you will be able to reset your NICs settings to whatever they were before.
Thank you. I went into the advanced section of my tcp/ip settings and and added another ip for my machine that allowed me to view other networks. I added 192.168.2.100. After that point, I was able to open the web admin because it was in the .2.1 network. :)
I have the same problem with a 2724. What do I need to do (step by step) to change my computer setup so that I can access the 2724 web admin page and change the ip address to one within the range of my network. I am running XP Pro.
Go into your tcp/ip settings in your local area connection and change your Subnet Mask to 255.255.0.0. This solution assumes some things a) that your switch currently has a 192.168.x.x IP and your machine is in the same network range (whether you set your nic directly or via DHCP). I hope this helps. I do not have time for more detailed instruction.
No. The only thing it seems you want to do, is gain temporary access to the switch to change the ip address to an ip that your server can see, so I believe you should be able to do it if you simply change your mask on your server's tcp/ip settings.
Changing the mask on your client will not allow you to manage the switch. The switch uses a default IP address of 192.168.2.1 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0. From the switch's point of view, anything outside the 192.168.2.x range is on another subnet and will try to send this traffic to the gateway configured on the switch. You would need to temporarily change the IP address on your client to an address on the 192.168.2.x network to manage the switch. Once you have management access, you can change the IP address on the switch to match your 192.168.0.x network and change your client back to the previous configuration.
To change the switch's IP address to the 192.168.0.x network, you will need to update the firmware. See the following post for info:
