All software function of the GSW-1290 can 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 Opera, Netscape Navigator/Communicator or Microsoft Internet
Explorer. 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.
Before You Start
The GSW-1290 Layer 2 Switch supports a wide array of functions and gives great flexibility and increased
network performance.
This flexibility and rich feature set requires a bit of thought to create a deployment strategy that will
maximize the potential of the GSW-1290 Layer 2 Switch. Please read the portions of this manual pertaining
to the functions you wish to perform with the Switch.
