Sorry I'm a newbie.  Bought this used to setup my PoE cameras etc.  I setup it up on the range of 192.168.2.x but for some reason the unit sets some IP's in the 192.168.10.x.  How would I turn of the 10.x range?

What device in your network is handing out the IP addresses?

What is your VLAN design, and routing design?

Maybe it helps if you share your current configuration, without that it's hard to provide any useful suggestions.

If you are a newbie to networking, it may be most efficient to ask your vendor to configure the switch as you would need at least basic networking knowledge to design and configure a network.

I'm using a CGM4331Cox modem\router.  I setup it as 2.1 and a DHCP range of 2-100.  I have most of my stuff set with static IP's in the 101-254 range.  If I just use several cisco 8 port switches I never get any on the 10.x range, but when I put the 5500 back in as the primary switch I start getting 10.x & 2.x ip's  I bought it used, the guy remoted into it and did a reset supposedly.  I will get the config.

I'd bet that the switch (or other device) also has a DHCP server configured. Config should give that information.

If this switch has configuration, it could be that the serial console baud rate has been changed from the default (think 9600). You may try other baud rates, or connect via telnet/ssh/http if you know the switch' IP address.

Also, some cheap USB to serial adapters have saved cost on the level convertors (+/- 12V) and don't work on some equipment. Not sure if this applies to your serial convertor an/or switch.

Looks correct, switch has IP 192.168.2.190:

interface Vlan-interface1 ip address 192.168.2.190 255.255.255.0 

and it's default route goes to your internet router 192.168.2.1:

ip route-static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.2.1#

Also there is no DHCP configured, so it's very unlikely that the 192.168.10.x address comes out of the switch. I know that some IoT devices (like cameras) come out of the box with a static IP, or they fallback to a static IP if they don't get a DHCP address quick enough.

You may (if you don't have any loops in your network) disable spanning tree (with the command: undo stp enable); as spanning tree introduces a delay for a device to get on the network to verify that there is no loop detected via the device that you plug in, and spanning tree may be the delay that your IP camera does not like and makes it to take it's own fallback address.

No, thats globally for the whole switch. So make sure that you don't create any network loops as spanning tree is designed to detect and prevent loops (like cable between two switch ports on the same switch, or multiple links between two switches).

do I need to do this for my VLAN?

Looks correct, switch has IP 192.168.2.190:

interface Vlan-interface1 ip address 192.168.2.190 255.255.255.0 

and it's default route goes to your internet router 192.168.2.1:

ip route-static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.2.1#

Also there is no DHCP configured, so it's very unlikely that the 192.168.10.x address comes out of the switch. I know that some IoT devices (like cameras) come out of the box with a static IP, or they fallback to a static IP if they don't get a DHCP address quick enough.

You may (if you don't have any loops in your network) disable spanning tree (with the command: undo stp enable); as spanning tree introduces a delay for a device to get on the network to verify that there is no loop detected via the device that you plug in, and spanning tree may be the delay that your IP camera does not like and makes it to take it's own fallback address.

Look right?

If this switch has configuration, it could be that the serial console baud rate has been changed from the default (think 9600). You may try other baud rates, or connect via telnet/ssh/http if you know the switch' IP address.

Also, some cheap USB to serial adapters have saved cost on the level convertors (+/- 12V) and don't work on some equipment. Not sure if this applies to your serial convertor an/or switch. 

Have had difficulties with getting into it via putty and console.  Any clues why it might not work?  It boots with all the light flashing, etc.

I'd bet that the switch (or other device) also has a DHCP server configured. Config should give that information.

I'm using a CGM4331Cox modem\router.  I setup it as 2.1 and a DHCP range of 2-100.  I have most of my stuff set with static IP's in the 101-254 range.  If I just use several cisco 8 port switches I never get any on the 10.x range, but when I put the 5500 back in as the primary switch I start getting 10.x & 2.x ip's  I bought it used, the guy remoted into it and did a reset supposedly.  I will get the config.

What device in your network is handing out the IP addresses?

What is your VLAN design, and routing design?

Maybe it helps if you share your current configuration, without that it's hard to provide any useful suggestions.

If you are a newbie to networking, it may be most efficient to ask your vendor to configure the switch as you would need at least basic networking knowledge to design and configure a network.

Sorry I'm a newbie.  Bought this used to setup my PoE cameras etc.  I setup it up on the range of 192.168.2.x but for some reason the unit sets some IP's in the 192.168.10.x.  How would I turn of the 10.x range?

No, thats globally for the whole switch. So make sure that you don't create any network loops as spanning tree is designed to detect and prevent loops (like cable between two switch ports on the same switch, or multiple links between two switches).
