Dell PowerConnect 2724 IP problem

Currently, I am trying to get to the Administrator page with the default IP 192.168.2.1, but this IP is not working and web page is unreachable.

I try to switch back to unmanaged mode and back to manage mode to reset everything, but the IP address still not working. Any idea why and any other ways to reset the whole thing back to factory settings?

Hi @ryalen11,

 

When pressing the managed mode button, does the LED lit? When the LED is lit, are you able to ping the default IP, 192.168.2.1? I believe your client is on the same subnet as the switch. 

 

The only way to reset is throught the managed mode button. Changing from unmanage to managed will reset the configuration. 

 

Here a quote paragraph from the user guide, page 34:

 

To change to Managed Mode, the device must be fully operational in Unmanaged Mode (Managed Mode LED has stopped blinking and is off). Once the Managed Mode LED has stopped blinking, press the Managed Mode button. The switch reboots and the Managed Mode LED blinks for approximately 90 seconds and stays lit. When the Managed Mode LED stays lit, the switch is ready to be configured. The default IP address is 192.168.2.1, the default Username is 'admin', and the default password is left blank.

This doesn't work for me either. Can ping the 192.168.2.1 but cannot hit it's web page. I've had it in managed mode -> Unmanaged -> Managed with the same results. 

I set the pc ip to 192.168.2.3 / NetMask 255.255.255.0 (other fields empty) 

Does that look correct?

Thanks
