SG 300 switch. Unable to access the GUI

[Jith Thomas]

I have a SG300 switch which is currently in L2 mode. I am not able to access the gui. How can I manually set the management IP from CLI

[devils_advocate]

Vlan 1 is the default vlan out of the box so the following should work:

#conf t
#interface vlan 1
#ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0
#no shut

Then plug into port 1 and give yourself an IP address in the 192.168.0.* network with the 255.255.255.0 mask.

To be honest, the SG300 switches have a default IP which should be in the manual.

I will explain the scenario. I have total 3 sg300 connected in which Sw A is acting as L3 and Sw B and Sw C in L2 mode. I have Vlans 10, 20, and 30 across all and vlan 1 as my mgt vlan. I have configured vlan 1 IP as192.168.10.1, 192.168.10.2, 192.168.10.3 in switches A, B and C respectively.

Now, For Switch A, I am able to access the GUI through IPs of vlan 10, 20 and 30. but not with vlan 1 IP. Also cant access Sw B, Sw C gui with the vlan 1 IP.

Hope the scenario is clear to you.

How can I access these switches gui. Do I need to configure anything other than VLAN 1 IP?

Hello,

Make sure that you have the default gateway on switches B & C set to 192.168.10.1.  I have seen this resolve similar issues before.  Also, on the L2 switches double-check and make sure that VLAN 1 is set as the managment VLAN.  You can console in to check the config or you can check the CDP neighbor detail from switch A.
