192.168.1.1 Question?
I have set-up my network this way - Cisco RV082 router + Allied Telesis Managed Switch. When I reboot both device, I always set the switch on DHCP mode.
Initially, both device can be accessed thru 192.168.1.1 but I needed to access the managed switch first so I can set it to DHCP mode. When I used a laptop connected to the network, I can easily access the switch by using 192.168.1.1 and after setting it up to DHCP mode, 192.168.1.1 will show the router settings.
Odd thing is that when I used a desktop computer and type 192.168.1.1 on the browser, it shows up the router settings and not the managed switch settings. Is there any logical explanation why this thing happens? Any solutions would be much appreciated. Thanks.
You guys completely misunderstood the situation :). Let me clarify:
Initially, (which means theoritically) the default setting for both is 192.168.1.1. Now in order for me to change the managed switch to 192.168.1.2, I needed to set it to DHCP mode. keep in mind, I am doing this to set-up the network like what you are trying to tell me.
Unfortunately, in order to access the managed switch settings ( to set it to 192.168.1.2), I need to type in 192.168.1.1 on my browser - which works perfectly on laptops but not on desktop computers that gives me router settings when I type-in 192.168.1.1.

I think the problem lies with the ability for you to set the DHCP on the switch. If it can do that, it is competing with the router. Only one device should be setting up the DHCP and that is the router. A switch should do nothing but run an in cable in one port and have several ports out to devices or other switches, in other word be nothing but a through device or end point so one can hook several devices. A switch should not do much else.

Having both at .1.1 should be causing all sorts of conflicts. I suspect the switch just "gives up", since the router is really trying to manage all traffic.
You reallly need to set the switch's IP address to something manually, to avoid any future conflict. Try 192.168.1.2
If the switch uses DHCP to get a management address, then it will reset itself to whatever the router's DHCP will give it. Check the router's DHCP status pages to see what IP was given to the switch. You can then access it via that new DHCP IP address, and 192.168.1.1 will always go to the router.

You can't use the same IPs. Your router is using 192.168.1.1 as the default gateway/router interface. Set the IP of the managed switch outside the scope of your DHCP server,
like 192.168.1.254, and set the scope to be 192.168.1.2-127 or something.

You shouldn't have two devices with the same IP address on the local network. Change whichever one is easier to change, to a fixed address outside the DHCP range.

You should not have 2 devices with the same address (192.168.1.1 on two devices) you have to change one of them
