I am trying to log in to a summit x430-24t to configure it and am following the documentation but the last 2 characters do not log me in to the switch through the management port. I am pulling an IP of 169.254.126.248. I tried logging in using http://0xa9fe (and (and every last 4 characters and numbers from every sticker set on the switch) as well as https:// and then tried using the ip and converting everything from hex to numeric. nothing has worked.

Is it possible that the sticker is not the correct one? is there a way to confirm the mac address of the device.

I do have a dhcp server but i cant see the switch on my network in the arp tables so tryiong to find it to access it without using the console cables is not working. have to get creative because my laptop doesn't have a serial port so I am going to have to move some things around and try accessing from a workstation to configure it.

Do you trying to give static IP to your PC?
Do you have DHCP-server in your network?

My understanding is that the switch would also take the APIPA address based off of its MAC Adresses last 4 characters but this did not happen for me. unless the mac address sticker is not tha correct mac address of the switch. I will try with a console cable this morning.
