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 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 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 “Configuring the Logon Password” on page
2-14.)
3. After you enter a user name and password, you will have
access to the system configuration program.
