Chapter 2: Starting a Management Session

Starting a Web Management Session
This section provides how to start a web management session when the
switch does not have the factory default configuration.
To log onto the switch through the web interface, enter the IP address of
the switch on the web browser, such as Windows Internet Explorer, on the
PC or laptop that can access the switch. If the web interface comes up,
you can skip the rest of this section and continue a web management
session. If the web interface does not come up, you must configure the
switch using the Command Line Interface (CLI).
Note
For more information about how to start the Command Line
Interface (CLI), see the
AT-8100 Series Version 2.2.5.0
Management Software Command Line Interface User’s Guide.
There are some cases in which you must configure the switch using the
CLI to start a web management session:

The switch does not have an IP address assigned, or you do not know
the IP address of the switch.

HTTP service on the switch is disabled.

You want to access the switch in the HTTPS mode.

Not Know the IP
Address of the
Switch

address of the switch, perform the following steps:
1. “Logging onto the CLI through the Console Port” on page 33.
