2 Operation of Web-Based Management
2.1 Initial Configuration
This chapter describes configuring and managing the PowerFlex series switches through the web user
interface. With this facility, users can easily access and monitor the switch, including MIBs status, port
activity, Spanning tree status, port aggregation status, and multicast traffic, VLAN, and priority status,
and even illegal access record and so on.
The PowerFlex Series switches ship with a preconfigured firmware image. This eliminates the need to
make changes to the switch in order for it to work with the Allworx servers and phones. The default
configuration is detailed below. Following the instructions below makes the server, switch, and phones
a plug-n-play network.
2.2 IP Configuration
The switch has DHCP enabled to obtain an address from the Allworx server. If for some reason DHCP
fails, the switch falls back to the configured static IP.
NOTE : If DHCP has failed in a multiple PowerFlex switch configuration, it will be
necessary to disconnect each switch from the others before attemplting to log into
the switches using the default IP.
IP Address 192.168.2.200
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.2.254
Username admin
Password <blank>
Once the switch has obtained its IP address, users may determine its current address from the DHCP
lease table of the network’s DHCP server. In a default configuration, an Allworx server is the DHCP
server. The IP information may be viewed by navigating to the Servers > DHCP page of the Allworx
server. In the “Active Leases” section, match the hardware address in the table to the MAC address
printed on the label of the PowerFlex switch. Access the switch via the web interface using the
associated IP address. For instance, browse to
http://192.168.2.x
using a web browser. A pop-up screen
prompts users to enter the username and password.
The default username is
“admin”
and password is
empty.
NOTE : It is recommended for security purposes to change the username and
password after initial login.
The PowerFlex Series supports a simple user management function enabling only one administrator to
configure the system at any given time. If there are two or more users using administrator’s identity,
only the first user to login is able to configure the system. The other logged in users, even with
