Introduction
Switch 5500-EI has a Web server built in. It enables you to log in to an Ethernet switch through a Web
browser and then manage and maintain the switch intuitively by interacting with the built-in Web server.
To log in to a Switch 5500-EI through the built-in Web-based network management system, you need to
perform the related configuration on both the switch and the PC operating as the network management
terminal.
