Web-Based Management Interface

Your NETGEAR 7300 Series Layer 3 Managed Switch provides a built-in browser interface that
lets you configure and manage it remotely using a standard Web browser such as Microsoft
Internet Explorer 5.0 or later or Netscape Navigator 6.0 or later.
This interface also allows for system monitoring and management of the switch. The 'help' page
covers many of the basic functions and features of the switch and it's web interface.
When you configure the switch for the first time from the console, you can assign an IP address
and subnet mask to the switch. Thereafter, you can access the switch's Web interface directly using
your Web browser by entering the switch's IP address into the address bar. In this way, you can use
your Web browser to manage the switch from a central location, just as if you were directly
connected to the switch's console port. Figure 4-1 shows this management method.
