WITCH ONFIGURATION
This chapter describes all the options available through the
Switch configuration pages, and is provided as a reference.
Navigating Through the Switch Configuration
Pages
To get to the configuration pages, browse to the Switch by
entering the URL in the location bar of your browser. The default
URL is http://169.254.x.y., where x and y are assigned by
the process described in "How Automatic IP Configuration
Works" on page 19. If you changed the Switch LAN IP address
during initial configuration, use the new IP address instead.
When you have browsed to the Switch, log in using your system
password. The default username is "admin." There is no default
password.

Main Menu

At the left side of all screens is a main menu, as shown in
Figure 5. When you click on a topic from the main menu, that
page will appear in the main part of the screen.
