ONFIGURING THE

This switch provides an embedded HTTP Web agent. Using a Web

browser you can configure the switch and view statistics to monitor

network activity. The Web agent can be accessed by any computer on the

network using a standard Web browser (Internet Explorer 5.0 or above, or

Netscape Navigator 6.2 or above).

Note: You can also use the Command Line Interface (CLI) to manage the

switch over a serial connection to the console port or via Telnet.

For more information on using the CLI, refer to Chapter 4

"Command Line Interface."

Prior to accessing the switch from a Web browser, be sure you have first

performed the following tasks:

1. Configure the switch with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default

gateway using an out-of-band serial connection, BOOTP or DHCP

protocol. (See "Setting the Switch's IP Address" on page 3-17.)

2. Set user names and passwords using an out-of-band serial connection.

Access to the Web agent is controlled by the same user names and

passwords as the onboard configuration program. (See "Configuring

the Logon Password" on page 3-28.)

3. After you enter a user name and password, you will have access to the

system configuration program.
