Cannot see switch as client

[TicoMan]

Hi,

I have an ASUS AC88U which I connected a switch to it. Everything works fine, devices connected to the switch get internet access and they show as clients in ASUS Web Management console.

BUT...

Why does the switch itself is not shown as a client?

Does the switch have an assigned IP? Most budget, unmanaged switches are only layer 2 devices.

Thanks man, I made a very noob mistake. My switch had a fixed IP of 192.168.0.1 yet my router’s subnet started on 192.168.1.1

To get to it I assigned to one of my PC’s an address of 192.168.0.2... then I was able to access the switch GUI. Once in the GUI I assigned my switch an address within my router’s subnet.
