Connecting using the Web User Interface
All software functions of the Switch can be managed, configured, and monitored via the embedded Web-based
(HTML) interface. This can be done from any remote station on the network through a standard web browser, such as
Internet Explorer (version 5.5 and later), Mozilla Firefox (version 2.0 and later), Safari (version 4.0 and later), or
Google Chrome (version 6.0 and later). The browser acts as a universal access tool and can communicate directly
with the Switch using the HTTP protocol.
All the software features that can be configured using the Command Line Interface can also be configured using the
Web User Interface. The Web User Interface is thus an alternative configuration method for the lesser analytical
users.
Logging onto the Web Manager
To access the Web User Interface the user simply runs the standard web browser and enter the Switch’s IP address
into the address bar of the browser and press the ‘
Enter’
key.
