Access the Switch from Your Browser
A Java browser plug-in is required to access the HTML interface. You can download the plug-in
from Cisco Connection Online (CCO). If you have a SmartNet support contract, you can log
in to the following URL and download the plug-in:
• http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/cat2900XL
If you do not have a SmartNet contract, you can download the plug-in from the following URL:
• http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/cat2900XL
Follow the instructions that accompany the plug-in to install it on your computer.
After you have assigned an IP address to the switch and installed the plug-in, you can access the
switch from your browser and use the Cluster Management Suite to view or change
configuration settings. If this is a command switch, you can also use the Cluster Management
application to configure other switches. To use web-based tools, follow the procedure to set the
appropriate browser options.
The web-based tools support the following platforms and network browsers:

Note: Netscape Communicator version 4.6 is NOT supported.

supported. If the browser is not supported, the switch displays a warning message.
