Forgot what IP address I assigned to my Cisco SG500-28 switch. Don't want to reset.

Tried pinging 192.168.1.254, got 'Destination host unreachable.' I've accessed the switch before, set VLAN, unfortunately, I forgot. Looked at my firewall, with assigned DHCP IP addresses, and tried to access them, with no avail.

Any ideas how?

connect your PC to the switch, and see what's on the wire with wireshark. hope that you'll still see CDP or LLDP packets that contain the mgmt ip address.

This may be easier for me. Wireshark is free?

You might try Cisco FindIT software. It will scan and find all your Cisco small business hardware.
