Web User Interface (Web UI)
Management Options
This switch provides multiple access platforms that can be used to configure, manage and monitor
networking features available on this switch. Currently there are three management platforms available
and they are described below.
The Command Line Interface (CLI) through the Serial Port or remote Telnet
This switch can be managed, out-of-band, by using the console port on the front panel of the switch.
Alternatively, the switch can also be managed, in-band, by using a Telnet connection to any of the LAN
ports on this switch. The command line interface provides complete access to all switch management
features.
SNMP-based Management
The switch can be managed with an SNMP-compatible console program. The switch supports SNMP
version 1.0, version 2.0 and version 3.0. The SNMP agent decodes the incoming SNMP messages and
responds to requests with MIB objects stored in the database. The SNMP agent updates the MIB objects
to generate statistics and counters.
Web-based Management Interface
After successfully installing the switch, the user can configure the switch, monitor the LED panel, and
display statistics graphically using a Web browser, such as Microsoft
later), Mozilla Firefox (version 3 and later), Safari (version 5 and later), Google Chrome (version 5 and
later), Opera (version 12 and later), or Netscape (version 8 and later).
Connecting using the Web User Interface
Most software functions of the DXS-3600 Series switches can be managed, configured and monitored via
the embedded web-based (HTML) interface. Manage the switch from remote stations anywhere on the
network through a standard web browser. The web browser acts as a universal access tool and can
communicate directly with the switch using the HTTP or HTTPS protocol.
Logging onto the Web Manager
To access the Web User Interface, simply open a standard web browser on the management PC and
enter the switch's default IP address into the address bar of the browser and press the Enter key.
NOTE: The Command Line Interface (CLI) provides the functionality of managing, configuring,
and monitoring all of the software features that are available on this switch.
