How To Access FortiSwitch 448E In Stand Alone Mode?

Hi Everyone,

We just bought a FortiSwitch 448E and when I tried to connect a LAN cable from my laptop to the FortiSwitch's MGNT port, it's giving my LAN port an IP of 169.254.200.221. 

The label on the switch says the switch itself is supposed to be 192.168.1.99.

I even tried to set my laptop's LAN port to a static IP of 192.168.1.10 and still can't access this switch's GUI.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much,

Sonny
