The following prompt is displayed:

Enter SLIP address [192.168.101.1]:

If you want to manage the stack using the web interface through the
console port of the Switch, you need to set up Serial Line Interface
Protocol (SLIP) information for the Switch. A SLIP address is similar to an
IP address, but it is used for serial line connections to console ports. We
recommend that you use the default address 192.168.101.1.

“Serial Web Utility

The following prompt is displayed:

Enter SLIP subnet mask [255.255.255.0]:

A SLIP subnet mask is an IP subnet mask that is used for serial line
connections to console ports.
