Change the Default IP/subnet of Managed Switch?

I bought a managed switch in order to create some VLAN’s and wonder whether I should leave it set to the default IP which I assume will be on the 192.168.1.x subnet without VLAN tagging.

Can it be changed to another subnet and have VLAN tagging and should it be changed?

If it can be changed, it seems it might be a good security practice but a downside is I’d lose web access if pfSense goes down so maybe this isn’t worth it?
