Help configuring a new switch

Hello everyone,

I could use some help with configuring a new switch i just bought. Its a HP 1910-8g PoE+ (JG350A).

I can access the switch through the HP web gui via a LAN cable which is connected to my PC. Switch default IP is: 169.254.100.171

My PFsense LAN IP is 192.168.3.1

So when i go through the HP web gui wizard, i set a management manual/static IP of lets say: 192.168.3.9, which is outside of my pfsense LAN DHCP address pool. MaskLen i set to:24 and GateWay i set to pfsense LAN (192.168.3.1)

Then when i try to apply and save the changes, it says that "Request times out." And i cant login to the web gui using the new ip or the old one. I dont know what im doing wrong, i just want the switch to work as a simple switch right now. VLANs ill set up later once i get basic internet up and running.

So any help would be greatly appreciated :)
