MEMO
The switch has a new IP address after configuration (the IP address of the step 2-5 ❷).
Your PC still has an IP address which was assigned by the switch during the Express

of the switch. To do so, simply restart your PC.
When the "Erase of nvram: completemessage is shown, reboot the switch by
entering the "reload" command or reconnecting the AC power cord.
