Introduction
Switch 4500 has a Web server built in. It enables you to log in to Switch 4500 through a Web browser
and then manage and maintain the switch intuitively by interacting with the built-in Web server.
To log in to Switch 4500 through the built-in Web-based network management interface, you need to
perform the related configuration on both the switch and the PC operating as the network management
