Web-based Switch Configuration

Introduction

Logging onto the Web Manager

Web-Based User Interface
Introduction
All software functions of the Switch can be managed, configured, and monitored via the embedded web-based (HTML) interface.
Manage the Switch from remote stations anywhere on the network through a standard browser, such as Internet Explorer 5.5 or
later, Netscape 8.0 or later, or Firefox 2.0 or later. The browser acts as a universal access tool and can communicate directly with
the Switch using the HTTP protocol.
The Web-based management module and the Console program (and Telnet) are different ways to access the same internal
switching software and configure it. Thus, all settings encountered in web-based management are the same as those found in the
console program.
Logging onto the Web Manager
To begin managing the Switch, simply run the browser installed on your computer and point it to the IP address you have defined
for the device. The URL in the address bar should read something like: http://123.123.123.123, where the numbers 123 represent
the IP address of the Switch.
This opens the management module's user authentication window, as seen below.
Enter "admin" in both the User Name field and the Password field and click OK. This will open the Web-based user interface.
The Switch management features available in the web-based manager are explained below.
