Enterasys WebView Description

This user guide describes Enterasys WebView, a web browser-based
utility which allows you to remotely configure and manage Enterasys
Networks products, including the VH-2402S/VH-2402S2 stackable
switches. There is no software to install as Web management capability
is built into the unit's VH-SMGMT/VH-SMGMT2 Management Module.
Enterasys WebView provides a graphical, real-time representation of the
front panel on a switch. This graphic, along with additionally defined areas
of the browser interface, allow you to interactively configure a switch,
monitor its status, and view statistical information.
Enterasys WebView provides a simple, intuitive method for managing the
VH-2402S/VH-2402S2 stackable switches. These switches can also be
managed via the serial console, Telnet, or SNMP.

(Preferred browsers include Internet Explorer 4.0 or above, or
Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above)

System Requirements

The requirements for running Enterasys WebView are relatively simple.
You will need a Java-enabled, frames-capable Web browser and a TCP/
IP network connection to the switch, whether over a local network, a
remote private network, or over the Internet.
When connecting over the Internet, the integrity of your connection will
have an impact on the speed and performance of tasks. If your connection
is subject to prohibitive periods of network congestion, or experiences
high packet loss, you may need to consider a different Internet service
provider.
In addition, Enterasys WebView uses SNMP for some of its
communications with the switch. This may cause problems when the
application is run across some Internet firewalls, which may be configured
to disallow SNMP access.
