Troubleshooting Web interface access to a switch

If the switch and the PC running the Web browser are in the same network, you
may find that even though other applications (such as Device Manager or Telnet)
can access a particular switch, the Web management interface cannot. This
situation can occur if the Web browser has a proxy server that resolves the www
path and returns the "reachable" IP address to the browser. If there is no route
from the proxy server to the switch, the http query does not reach the switch, and
there is no response.
To prevent this problem, make sure that if your Web browser uses a proxy server,
a route is specified from the proxy server to the switch.
