Logging into the Web UI

Web User Interface (Web UI)
Introduction
Most software functions of the Switch can be managed, configured, and monitored via the embedded HTML Web UI.
Management can be done on 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 (SSL) protocol.
The following web browsers are supported:

Internet Explorer (version 7 and later)

Firefox

Google Chrome

Safari
Logging into the Web UI
To access the Web UI, open a standard web browser, enter the Switch's IP address into the address bar of the
browser, and press the ENTER key. By default, the MGMT port, located just above the RJ45 console port, can be
accessed using the IP address of 192.168.0.1. To access the Web UI from normal LAN ports, the default IP address is
10.90.90.90.
NOTE: To configure the IP address of the Switch, refer to the Configuring the IP Address
section.
After pressing the ENTER key, the following authentication window should appear, as shown below.
When connecting to the Web UI of the Switch for the first time, leave the User Name and Password fields blank and
click Login since there are no login user accounts created by default on this switch.
NOTE: After a user account was created, login credentials will be required to access the Web UI.
During the sending and receiving of the login password to and from the Switch, this information will
be protected using a strong encryption algorithm to prevent attackers from snooping this information
to gain unauthorized access to the Switch.
