Web-Based
Switch Configuration
Introduction
All software functions of the switch can be managed, configured and monitored via the embedded web-
based (HTML) interface. The switch can be managed from remote stations anywhere on the network
through a standard browser such as Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla, or Netscape. The
browser acts as a universal access tool and can communicate directly with the switch using the HTTP
protocol.
The Web-based management module and the Console program (and Telnet) are different ways to access
the same internal switching software and configure it. Thus, all settings encountered in web-based
management are the same as those found in the console program.
Login to Web Manager
To begin managing the switch, simply run the browser you have installed on your computer and point
it to the IP address you have defined for the device. The URL in the address bar should be in the
format: http://123.123.123.123, where the numbers 123 represent the IP address of the switch.
NOTE
The Factory default IP address for the switch is 0.0.0.0. The user must first configure an IP address for the
switch through the console port before connecting to the Web Manager.
