8-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch User's Guide
Existing WAN or Internet connections will probably have a router to connect the interface device to the network. This router
can be connected to the DGS-3308 using a port designated as a 'router port'. Designating a port as a router port allows
multicasting messages to be passed to the router with a WAN or Internet connection without flooding these messages
throughout the network. This saves considerable bandwidth and increases performance without additional investment in
network equipment.
Getting Started
The first step in getting started in using Web-based management for your Switch is to secure a browser. A Web browser is
a program that allows a person to read hypertext, for example, Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. Follow
the installation instructions for the browser.
The second and last step is to configure the IP interface of the Switch. This can be done manually through a console (see the
Configure IP Address section in chapter 6, "Using The Console Interface").
To begin managing your Switch simply run the browser you have installed on your computer and point it to the IP address
you have defined for the device. The URL in the address bar should read something like: http://123.123.123.123, where the
numbers 123 represent the IP address of the Switch.
Note: The factory default IP address for the Switch is 10.90.90.90.
