Introduction
An S5100-SI/EI Ethernet switch has a Web server built in. It enables you to log in to an
S5100-SI/EI 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 an S5100-SI/EI Ethernet switch through the built-in Web-based network management
interface, you need to perform the related configuration on both the switch and the PC operating
as the network management terminal.
