Introduction
All software functions of the switch can be managed, configured, and monitored via the embedded
Web-based (HTML) interface. Manage the switch from remote stations anywhere on the network
through a standard browser, such as Internet Explorer (version 5.5 and later), Netscape (version 8.0 and
later), Mozilla Firefox (version 2.0 and later), Safari (version 4.0 and later), or Google Chrome (version
6.0 and later). The browser acts as a universal access tool and can communicate directly with the switch
using the HTTP protocol.
The Web-based management module and the Console program (and Telnet) are different ways to access
the same internal switching software and configure it. Thus, all settings encountered in web-based
management are the same as those found in the console program.
Logging onto the Web Manager
To begin managing the switch, simply run the browser installed on your computer and point it to the IP
address you have defined for the device. For this example we'll use the IP address 192.168.69.123/24.
The URL in the address bar should read something like: http://192.168.69.123, where the number 123
represent the IP address of the switch.
