Chapter 1 – Getting Started
There are two ways to configure the device: through the graphical user interface and through the
menu command line interface.
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. The following browsers are supported:
• Firefox (versions 16 and latest)
• IE version (versions 10 and latest)
• Chrome (versions 35 and latest)
Browser Restrictions
If you are using IPv6 interfaces on your management station, use the IPv6 global address and not
the IPv6 link local address to access the device from your browser.
Launching the Configuration Utility
To open the Web-based configuration utility, do the following:
1. Open a Web browser.
2. Enter the IP address of the device you are configuring in the address bar on the browser,
and then press Enter.
NOTE—When the device is using the factory default IP address of 192.168.1.251, 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.
3. On the login page, enter the username/password. The password can contain up to 64
ASCII characters. The default username is "admin" and the default password is "admin".
