assign a static IP address to your switch.
If you prefer, you can assign the switch a static IP address even if your network does include
a DHCP server.
As an offline option, if you connect your computer directly to the switch using an Ethernet
cable (that is, offline), you can also use the SCC to assign a static IP address to your switch.
After you do so, you can connect your switch to the network.
