Web-Based Configuration and Monitoring
As well as the menu-driven system configuration program, the
agent module provides an embedded HTTP Web agent. This agent
can be accessed by any computer on the network using a standard
Web browser (Internet Explorer 4.0 or above, or Netscape
Navigator 4.0 or above).
Using the Web browser management interface you can configure a
switch and view statistics to monitor network activity. The Web
interface also provides access to a range of SNMP management
functions with access to the switch's MIB and RMON database.
Prior to accessing the switch from a Web browser, be sure you
have first performed the following tasks:
1. Configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway using an out-of-band serial connection or BOOTP
protocol.
2. Set the Administrator user name and password using an
out-of-band serial connection. Access to the Web agent is
controlled by the same Administrator user name and password
as the on-board configuration program.
