Configuration Overview
The Switch is shipped ready for use. If you only want
the Switch to function as a basic layer 2 switch, you do
not need to access the Web interface and configure the
Switch.
You only need to access the Web interface if you want
to:
■
Set the administration password to the Web
interface
■
Assign an IP address to the Switch
■
Configure the Switch’s advanced features
■
Upgrade the firmware
Viewing Switch Information
The Summary page, which automatically loads after you
log on to the Web interface, provides a snapshot of the
Switch’s basic settings and versions of current
components.
