Using the Web Interface
This switch provides an embedded HTTP web agent. Using a web browser
you can configure the 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:
You can also use the Command Line Interface (CLI) to manage
the switch over a serial connection to the console port or via
Telnet.
For more information on using the CLI, refer to Chapter 4
“Command Line Interface.”
Prior to accessing the switch from a web browser, be sure you have first
performed the following tasks:
1. Configure the 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 2-6.)
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 2-5.)
3. After you enter a user name and password, you will have access to the
system configuration program.
