You are planning to connect to a new, out-of-the-box, router for the initial configuration. This router allows you to connect using an Ethernet port, and you know that it has a Web interface. You have your laptop at hand. How do you proceed to successfully access the router?

What will be an ideal response?


To get to the Web interface, you must first set a static address for the laptop that has the same network ID as the factory-default IP address of the router. To discover this address, you must read the documentation that came with the router. Then connect to the router, either with a crossover cable (if specified in the documentation), directly with a straight-through Ethernet cable (again, per the documentation), or by connecting them to the same switch. Open your browser and enter the IP address of the router; this should bring up the login screen for the router's configuration utility.
