1. Connect the managed switch to your existing network infrastructure. To do this, use Ethernet cables to plug one end of each cable into the managed switch‘s ports and the other into the appropriate input/output on either computers, routers, or modems.
2. Find the IP address of the managed switch. This is typically found on a sticker on the back of the switch. Alternatively, you can try and find it by running a program like Angry IP Scanner on your computer.
3. Log into the web–based configuration panel of the managed switch. This is usually done using a web browser, with the IP address of the device being the URL. You will have to enter in the username and password to gain access.
4. Make any desired changes to the switch settings. This may include creating VLANs, setting port priorities, or configuring port security. Make sure to save your changes when you are done.
5. Reboot the switch. Once all changes have been made, it is best practice to reboot your managed switch to ensure that everything has been set up correctly.
