Getting Started
This chapter introduces the management interface of D-Link DXS-1210 Series Switch.
Management Options
The D-Link DXS-1210 Series Switch can be managed through any port by using the Web-based
Management, or through any PC using CLI commands.
Each switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with the Web-Based
Management or a SNMP network manager. The PC should have an IP address in the same subnet as the
switch. Each switch can allow up to four users to access the Web-Based Management concurrently.
Please refer to the following installation instructions for the Web-based Management.
Using Web-based Management
After a successful physical installation, you can configure the Switch, monitor the network status, and display
statistics using a web browser.
Supported Web Browsers
The embedded Web-based Management currently supports the following web browsers:
Internet Explorer 8 or later version
Chrome
Firefox
Safari
Connecting to the Switch
You will need the following equipment to begin the web configuration of your device:
1.
A PC with a RJ-45 Ethernet connection
2.
A standard Ethernet cable
Connect the Ethernet cable to any of the ports on the front panel of the switch and to the Ethernet port on the
PC.

Login Web-based Management
In order to login and configure the switch via Web-based GUI, the PC must have an IP address in the same
subnet as the switch. For example, if the switch has an IP address of
10.90.90.90
, the PC should have an IP
address of
10.x.y.z
(where x/y is a number between 0 ~ 254 and z is a number between 1 ~ 254), and a
subnet mask of
255.0.0.0
. There are two ways to launch the Web-based Management.
