3.2. Starting the Web-based Configuration Utility

This section describes how to navigate the web-based switch configuration utility.
If you are using a pop-up blocker, make sure it is disabled.

3.2.1. Browser Restrictions

• If you are using older versions of Internet Explorer, you cannot directly use an
IPv6 address to access the device. You can, however, use the DNS (Domain
Name System) server to create a domain name that contains the IPv6 address,
and then use that domain name in the address bar in place of the IPv6 address.
• If you have multiple IPv6 interfaces on your management station, use the IPv6
global address instead of the IPv6 link local address to access the device from
your browser.

3.2.2. Launching the Configuration Utility

To open the web-based configuration utility:
1. Open a Web browser.
2. Enter the IP address of the device you are configuring in the address bar on the
browser (the factory default IP address is 192.168.169.1) and then press Enter.
When the device is using the factory default IP address of 192.168.169.1,
its power LED flashes continuously. When the device is using a DHCP
assigned IP address or an administrator-configured static IP address, the
power LED is on solid. Your computer's IP address must be in the same
subnet as the switch. For the default IP address this is any IP address in the
range 192.168.169.x (x = 2 – 254). You can modify the IP address of your
computer if you need.
The login window displays.
