6 Configuring the ECN330-switch
6.1 Accessing the Management Interface
The ECN330-switch provides an embedded HTTP web agent. A web browser
can be used to configure the ECN330-switch and view statistics to monitor
network activity. The web agent can be accessed by any computer on the
network using a standard web browser (Internet Explorer 5.0 or above, or
Netscape Navigator 6.2 or above).
Note: The Command Line Interface (CLI) can also be used to manage the
ECN330-switch over a serial connection to the console port or through Telnet.
For more information on using the CLI, refer to “Command Line Interface” on
page 515.”
Prior to accessing the ECN330-switch from a web browser, be sure to have first
performed the following tasks:
1. Configure the ECN330-switch with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway using an out-of-band serial connection, BOOTP or DHCP
protocol. (See
“Setting an IP Address” on page 42.)
2. Set user names and passwords using an out-of-band serial connection.
Access to the web agent is controlled by the same user names and
passwords as the onboard configuration program. (See “Setting Passwords”
on page 41.)
3. Enter a user name and password to gain access to the system configuration
program.
Note: Three attempts are allowed to enter the correct password; on the third
failed attempt the current connection is terminated.
Note: Logging into the web interface as guest (Normal Exec level) allows
configuration settings to be viewed and the guest password changed. Logging
in as “admin” (Privileged Exec level) allows settings to be changed on any page.
Note: If the path between the management station and the ECN330-switch
does not pass through any device that uses the Spanning Tree Algorithm, then
the ECN330-switch port attached to the management station can be set to fast
