Chapter 3: Web-Based Management
Web-Based Configuration and Monitoring
As well as the menu-driven system configuration program, the agent module
provides an embedded HTTP Web agent. This agent can be accessed by any
computer on the network using a standard Web browser (Internet Explorer 4.0 or
above, or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above).
Using the Web browser management interface you can configure a switch and view
statistics to monitor network activity. The Web interface also provides access to a
range of SNMP management functions with access to the switch’s MIB and RMON
database.
Prior to accessing the switch from a Web browser, be sure you have first performed
the following tasks:
1. Configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway using an
out-of-band serial connection or BOOTP protocol.
2. Set the Administrator user name and password using an out-of-band serial
connection. Access to the Web agent is controlled by the same Administrator
user name and password as the on-board configuration program.
