Managing the switch from the GUI
Only the S5000V3-EI switch supports GUI management.
Accessing the GUI
The default Web login information is as follows:
•
Username
—admin
•
Password
—admin
•
IP address of VLAN-interface 1
—192.168.0.233/24
To access the GUI by using the default username and password:
1.
Use a twisted pair cable to connect a PC to an Ethernet port on the switch.
By default, all ports on the switch belong to VLAN 1.
2.
Configure an IP address in subnet 192.168.0.0/24 for the PC. Make sure the PC and the switch
are reachable to each other.
The PC must use an IP address different than VLAN-interface 1.
3.
Start a browser on the PC, enter
in the address bar, and press
Enter
. The
Web login page opens.
4.
Enter the default username
admin
and password
admin
and then click
Login
.
NOTE:
To log out, do not close the browser directly. You must click
Logout
at the top left corner on the Web
interface.
Changing the default login password
As a best practice for security purposes, change the default login password immediately after you log
in to the GUI for the first time.
To change the default login password, click the
admin
icon
at the top left corner.
Creating user accounts
You can create user accounts other than the default account.
To create a user account, click
Device
>
Maintenance
>
Administrators
and create a new user
account on the page that opens.
A maximum of 32 users can access the Web GUI at the same time.
