2. USING WEB-BASED MANAGEMENT
Setting Up Web Management
Before running Web-based management, some basic configuration of the
switch may need to be performed. The following information at a minimum
must be configured or known for the switch and connected stack to be
managed:
•
IP Address
•
Administrator password
•
HTTP Server Enable
In addition, several other parameters may need to be configured or known
to properly communicate with the switch or allow full management
capability. These include:
•
Default Gateway
•
Trap Destination and Community Name
Configuration of these items may be made from the User Interface, which
is accessible via either the serial console or Telnet. Refer to the User
Guide that came with your system for more information about setting up
either of these connections to the switch. The following subsections
describe the required configuration.
Setting an IP Address
The IP address for the switch in the stack containing the management
agent must be set before it can be managed with Enterasys WebView.
The switch IP address may be automatically set using BootP protocol, in
which case the actual address assigned to the switch must be known.
Refer to the Management Guide.
The IP address may alternatively be set manually as follows:
1.
Starting at the Main Menu of the User Interface, select Management
Setup Menu / Network Configuration / IP Configuration.
2.
Select IP Address from the menu and enter the IP address.
3.
Select Subnet Mask from the menu and enter the appropriate mask.
4.
Press <APPLY>.
