Web-Based Management Interface

11.1

Overview

The Layer 3 Network Switch provides a built-in browser software interface that lets you configure and
manage it remotely using a standard Web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape
Navigator. This software interface also allows for system monitoring and management of the Network
Switch. When you configure this Network Switch for the first time from the console, you have to assign
an IP address and subnet mask to the Network Switch. Thereafter, you can access the Network Switch's
Web software interface directly using your Web browser by entering the switch's IP address into the
address bar. In this way, you can use your Web browser to manage the Switch from any remote PC
station, just as if you were directly connected to the Network Switch's console port.
The 8 menu options available are: System, Switching, Routing, Security, IPv6, QOS, IPv4 Multicast and
IPv6 Multicast.
