Explanation

A managed switch, unlike an unmanaged switch, has a management interface that allows configuration of features like VLANs, QoS, port mirroring, and STP. To access this interface (via web GUI, SSH, or Telnet), the switch must be assigned an IP address. Without one, the technician cannot connect to or configure it remotely. The serial number is used for registration or support, not setup. VLAN tags are configured after the switch is accessible. A loopback plug is a hardware tool for testing physical ports, not for switch configuration.
