Using the Web Interface

This switch provides an embedded HTTP web agent. Using a web browser
you can configure the switch and view statistics to monitor network
activity. The web agent can be accessed by any computer on the network
using a standard web browser (Internet Explorer 5.5 or above, or Mozilla
Firefox 1.0 or above).
Prior to accessing the switch from a web browser, be sure you have first
performed the following tasks:
1. Configure the switch with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway. (Default: 192.168.2.10/255.255.255.0/0.0.0.0)
(See "Initial Configuration" on page 2.)
2. Set a new password using the web interface. (Default: "smcadmin").
Access to the web interface is controlled by the password.
(See "Configuring the Logon Password" on page 18.)
