Introduction
The Switch offers an embedded Web-based (hypertext) interface allowing users to manage the Switch from anywhere on
the network through a standard browser such as Netscape Navigator/Communicator, 4.x or later, or Microsoft Internet
Explorer, 4.x or later. The Web browser acts as a universal access tool and can communicate directly with the Switch using
HTTP protocol. Your browser screen may vary with the screen shots (pictures) in this guide.
Note:
This Web-based Management Module does not accept Chinese language input (or other languages requiring
two bytes per character).
Getting Started
The first step in getting started in using Web-based management for your Switch is to secure a browser. A Web browser is
a program that allows a person to read hypertext, for example, Netscape Navigator, 4.x or later, or Microsoft Internet
Explorer, 4.x or later. Follow the installation instructions for the browser.
The second and last step is to configure the IP interface of the Switch. This can be done manually through a console (see the
Configure IP Address
section in the
“Using The Console
Interface”
chapter).
Management
To begin managing your 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 read something like: http://123.123.123.123, where the
numbers 123 represent the IP address of the switch.
In the page that opens, click on the
Login to DES-3624 Manager
button:
This opens the main page in the management module.
The top of each page contains an interactive view of the Switch’s front panel. If your Switch is part of a stack, there will
also be an icon representing each Switch in the stack on the left side of this panel. Click on the desired Switch to view that
Switch’s front panel. A colored border around the Switch icon indicates which Switch’s front panel is currently being
displayed:
