3.1.3 ADMINISTRATIVE INTERFACE ACCESS
There are several administrative interfaces to the switch:
This is the recommended method for managing the switch.
A terminal interface via the RS232/USB port or over the network using telnet or Secure
Shell (SSH).
An SNMP interface can be used to read/write many settings.
Command Line Interface (CLI) can be used to read/write most settings. Initial setup
must be done using an Ethernet connection (recommended) or the serial port.
3.1.4 USING THE GRAPHICAL (WEB) INTERFACE
The graphical interface is provided via a web server in the switch and can be accessed via a web
browser such as Opera, Mozilla, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome.
JavaScript must be supported and enabled in your browser for the graphical interface to work
correctly.
HTTP and HTTPS (secure HTTP) are supported for access to the web server. By default, both
protocols are enabled. Either or both may be disabled to secure the switch. (See the Remote
Access Security topic in this section.)
To access the graphical interface, enter a URL like HTTP://192.168.1.1 in your browser's address
bar. Replace "http" with "https" to use secure http and replace "192.168.1.1" with your
switch's IP address if you've changed it from the factory default.
The web server in the switch uses a signed security certificate. When you access the server via
https, you may see a warning dialog indicating that the certificate was signed by an unknown
authority. This is expected and to avoid this message in the future you can choose to install the
certificate on your computer.
This manual describes and depicts the web user interface in detail. The terminal interface is
not specifically shown but is basically the same.
3.1.5 CONFIGURING THE SWITCH FOR NETWORK ACCESS
To control and monitor the switch via the network, it must be configured with basic network
settings, including an IP address and subnet mask. Refer to the quick start guide in Section 1 for
how to initially access your switch.
To configure the switch for network access, select [Add Menu Address Here] to reach the
System Settings menu. The settings in this menu control the switch's general network
configuration.
