Introduction
As shown in the Network Diagram, the layout philosophy was to have a network switch at each location to act as a ‘manifold’ for all of the ethernet devices at that location. This simplifies the cabling between locations as then there is only a single ethernet cable connecting each location to the KPF Main Switch.
Regardless of the number of devices at each location, 24-port switches were used throughout to simplify ordering, sparing, and maintenance/replacement.

Installation Instructions
NOTE: the switch is by default set up for DHCP. In this state the only way to connect to the switch to change any settings is via a console cable (as described below).
Once the switch has a static IP address set, you can connect to it for command-line sessions using PuTTy (using its static IP on port 22).
