Setting Up Over the
Network
You can access the web interface using a management workstation
connected to a Switch over an IP network.
To display the web interface correctly, use one of the following Web
browsers:
Netscape Navigator
Internet Explorer version 4.0 or above
For the browser to operate the web interface correctly JavaScript
Cascading Style Sheets must be enabled on your browser. These features
are enabled on a browser by default. You will only need to enable them if
you have changed your browser settings.
To manage a Switch using the web interface over an IP network:
1 Set up the Switch with IP information. To do this, use the IP Setup page to
enter suitable IP information for the Switch.
For more information about IP, see
Network" on page
2 Check that you have an IP stack correctly installed on your management
workstation. You can check this by trying to browse the World Wide
Web. If you can browse, an IP stack is installed.
3 Check that the management workstation is connected to the Switch
using a port that is in VLAN 1. By default, all ports on the Switch are in
VLAN 1.
BOOTP server is the default method of allocating an IP address. It allows
you to automatically set up the Switch with IP information. For BOOTP to
work correctly you must have a BOOTP server on your network and the
Switch must have the IP address 0.0.0.0 (default setting).
