you have changed your browser settings.
To manage a Switch using the web interface over an IP network:
1 Check that you have the IP protocol correctly installed on your
management workstation. You can check this by trying to browse the
World Wide Web. If you can browse, the IP protocol is installed.
2 Check you can communicate with the Switch by entering a ping
command at the DOS prompt in the following format:
c:\ ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the Switch)
If you get an error message, check that your IP information has been
entered correctly.
3 Open your web browser and enter the IP address of the Switch that you
wish to manage in the URL locator. Use a valid user name and password
to log on to the Switch. The web interface for the Switch is displayed.
