In addition to being directly connected to the computer through the 'Console' port, switches can also be connected through regular ports. At this point, configuring the switch cannot be done locally, but requires implementing switch configuration through Telnet or web browser. The specific configuration method is as follows:

1. Telnet

The Telnet protocol is a remote access protocol that can be configured by logging in to a switch. Assuming the switch IP is 192.168.0.1, configuring the switch through Telnet only requires two steps: [3]

Step 1, click Start, run, and enter 'Telnet 192.168.0.1'

Step 2: After entering, click the 'OK' button or click the Enter key to establish a connection to the remote switch. Then, the switch can be configured and managed according to actual needs.

2. Web

Through the web interface, the switch can be set as follows:

Step 1: Run a web browser, enter the switch IP in the address bar, press Enter, and the following dialog box will pop up.

Step 2, enter the correct username and password.

Step 3, establish the connection and enter the switch configuration system.

Step 4, follow the prompts to set up the switch and modify parameters.
