Getting started
The first step in getting started with using Web-based management for your
switch is to install a browser. A Web browser is a program that allows a person
to read hypertext, for example, Opera, Netscape Navigator, or Microsoft
Internet Explorer. Follow the installation instructions for the browser.
You are now ready to begin managing your switch by simply running the
browser installed on your computer and pointing it to the IP address that you
have defined for the device. The URL in the address bar should have the
following format and contain information similar to: http://123.123.123.123,
where the numbers 123 represent the IP address of the switch.
Depending on which browser you are using, a dialog box similar to the
following will open:
Enter USERID for the User Name and PASSW0RD for the Password (where the
sixth alphanumeric character is the number zero, not the letter O) and click
OK. This opens the main page in the management module.
Note: Capital letters are required, as these fields are both case-sensitive. To
increase system security, change the password after you log onto the
system for the first time and, be sure to store the new password in a
safe location.
