Getting Started
This chapter introduces the management interface of D-Link DXS-1210 Series Switch.

Management Options

The D-Link DXS-1210 Series. Switch can be managed through any port by using the Web-based
Management, or through any PC using CLI commands.
Each switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with the Web-Based
Management or a SNMP network manager. The PC should have an IP address in the same subnet as the
switch. Each switch can allow up to four users to access the Web-Based Management concurrently.
Please refer to the following installation instructions for the Web-based Management.

Using Web-based Management

After a successful physical installation, you can configure the Switch, monitor the network status, and display
statistics using a web browser.

Supported Web Browsers

The embedded Web-based Management currently supports the following web browsers:
Internet Explorer 8 or later version
Chrome
Firefox
Safari

Connecting to the Switch

You will need the following equipment to begin the web configuration of your device:
1. A PC with a RJ-45 Ethernet connection
2. A standard Ethernet cable
Connect the Ethernet cable to any of the ports on the front panel of the switch and to the Ethernet port on the
PC.

Login Web-based Management

In order to login and configure the switch via Web-based GUI, the PC must have an IP address in the same
subnet as the switch. For example, if the switch has an IP address of 10.90.90.90, the PC should have an IP
address of 10.x.y.z (where x/y is a number between 0 ~ 254 and z is a number between 1 ~ 254), and a
subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. There are two ways to launch the Web-based Management.
