My switch has the same IP as my Modem (and a router, it's a 2in1).

[David2007]

Is this nortmal?

What should I do?

I am usinf dchp both in my windows settings and my router's.

When I try to log in the we interface of the switch, it takes me to the modem's.

Unplug the switch from the modem, then get into the switch's interface and change its management IP to something else. (Preferably an address on the same subnet but outside your modem's DHCP scope.)

A common choice is local.ip.range.1 (usually 192.168.1.x, but I personally prefer 10.0.0.x since it's faster to type).

Thanks, but I don't even know what a subnet is, and what is outside my DCHP's scope.

Can you please explain because I do not know anything about this topic.

It is a managed switch, and I have downloaded the easy smart config software.

Change the switch's management address to 192.168.0.253.

 

The subnet is the range of addresses on your network. In your case it's probably 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.0.255. (.0 and .255 are special addresses, you can't assign devices to them.)

 

The DHCP scope is the range of addresses your router hands out to devices as they connect to your network. At least in ye olde days, it was common to leave a chunk of addresses out of the scope for things that need a fixed address. You generally don't want to set static addresses inside your DHCP scope, because it's possible the router will give that address to a different device and cause an address conflict, but it's highly unlikely you'll have 252 devices connected so changing your switch's address to .253 should be fine.

The subnet is the range of addresses on your network. In your case it's probably 192.168.0.1 through 192.168.0.255. (.255 is a special address, you can't use it for devices.)

What should my subnet mask and my default gateway be?

Also, I think I need to change the windows settings to match the switch's. What are the best settings for that i mean dns server and such.

What do I type here? Do I need a IPv6?

Run ipconfig /all in a command prompt on your PC and use the subnet mask and default gateway it says the PC is using.

 

If I had to guess they're probably 255.255.255.0 and 192.168.0.1 respectively.

No. Leave the PC on DHCP (automatic). You only need to change the management interface for your switch so it doesn't conflict with your router anymore.

Don't worry about any of that, leave them on auto.

Are these the correct ones? Default gateway has 2 values, wich one should I be using?

Those are the correct ones.

 

The fe80::ae22 address is for IPv6. Ignore that.

So these are the correct ones right?

Thank you for your effort!

Have a good day/night/anything (I dont know what time is it where you live)!

[ieleja]

looks correct. but strange, that your router gives to switch DHCP address, same as itself address (at your first post)

[David2007]

This is the setting right now:

May I ask that what does "located on IP network" is?

[ieleja]

it is list of switches, that found in your LAN, address is this, which you set up

 

but your switch must get DHCP assigned IP address from router, if "DHCP Setting: Enable", and it can't be routers own address 192.168.0.1

 

but again — now all is fine!

That page isn't showing its current IP address, its the IP address it would use if DHCP was Disabled which is why its greyed out to show its not being used.
