==Finding current assigned IP using configuration==
For finding configuration after system-view 
<pre>
     display configuration
</pre>


==To enable switch ports using graphical web interface==
To enable switch ports using graphical web interface use:
# Login into web interface using account created in previous steps with privilege level 3
# To enable ports go to Device -> port-management -> Setup
# Change state from disabled to enable
# Select required ports
# Click apply. 

'''Note that although we are enabling some other ports, other already active ports also seem to be getting disconnected.  This can be an issue if we are remotely connected based on one of the other ports or if we are in compliance environment where port reset, requires considerable justification.'''
