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:
The current firmware does not support stacking, so in all
references to “units” and “ports”, the Unit ID will always be 1.
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 3, “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 the IP Address” on page 2-11.)
2. Set a user name and password using an out-of-band serial connection.
Access to the Web agent is controlled by the same user name and
password as the onboard configuration program. (See “Configuring
the Login Password” on page 2-14.)
