To manage a switch using the web interface over an IP network:
1 Be sure that you know your switch's IP address. See "IP Configura-
tion" on page 12, and "Viewing IP Information using the Console Port"
on page 17.
 Check that your management workstation is on the same subnet as
your switch.
 Check you can communicate with the switch by entering a ping com-
mand at the DOS or CMD 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 and the switch is powered up.
4 Open your web browser and enter the IP address of the switch that
you wish to manage in the URL locator, for example, in the following
format:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
 At the login and password prompts, enter admin as your user name
and press Return at the password prompt (or the password of your
choice if you have already modified the default passwords).
The main Web interface page is displayed.
You can use any network management application running the Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to manage the switch. 3Com
offers a range of network management applications to address net-
works of all sizes and complexity. See "3Com Network Management".
Be sure the management workstation is connected to the switch using
a port in VLAN 1 (the Default VLAN). By default, all ports on the switch
are in VLAN 1. Note that the management workstation does not have
to be physically connected to the switch.
To display and configure SNMP management parameters, refer to
"Configuring SNMP" in Chapter 12.
