Introduction to Switch Managemant
This chapter introduces the management interface of D-Link Metro Ethernet Switch.
Management Options
The D-Link Metro Ethernet Switch can be managed out-of-band through the console port on the front panel
or in-band using Telnet. The user may also choose the Web-based management, accessible through a web
browser.
Each switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with the Web-Based
Management or a SNMP network manager. The PC should have an IP address in the same range as the
switch. Each switch can allow up to four users to access the Web-Based Management concurrently.
Please refer to the following installation instructions for the Web-based Management.
Using Web-based Management
After a successful physical installation, you can configure the Switch, monitor the network status, and display
statistics using a web browser.
Supported Web Browsers
The embedded Web-based Management currently supports the following web browsers:
Internet Explorer 8 or later version
Chrome
Firefox
Safari
Connecting to the Switch
You will need the following equipment to begin the web configuration of your device:
1.
A PC with a RJ-45 Ethernet connection
2.
A standard Ethernet cable
Connect the Ethernet cable to any of the ports on the front panel of the switch and to the Ethernet port on the
PC.
Login Web-based Management
In order to login and configure the switch via an Ethernet connection, the PC must have an IP address in the
same subnet as the switch. For example, if the switch has an IP address of 10.90.90.90, the PC should have
an IP address of 10.x.y.z (where x/y is a number between 0 ~ 254 and z is a number between 1 ~ 254), and
a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. Enter 10.90.90.90 (the factory default IP address) in the address bar of your
web browser and press <Enter>.
