Note for Windows 2000 users only: The Microsoft VM is included with the Windows 2000
operating system and can only be updated with a Windows 2000 hotfix or service pack release. A

Web-Based Installations Requirements

In addition to the hardware and software listed above, a ConfigMaster Web-based installation
requires a web server. Compatible web servers are as follows:
Microsoft IIS Web server version 3.0 and Above.
Netscape Enterprise Web server version 3.0 and Above.
Netscape Fast Track Web Server.
Microsoft Personal Web Server (for a single client only).

Embedded Web Server (EWS)

The DES-6300 offers an embedded Web-based (HTML) interface allowing users to manage the
Switch from anywhere on the network through a standard browser, such as Opera, Netscape
Navigator/Communicator, or Microsoft Internet Explorer. The Web browser acts as a universal
access tool and can communicate directly with the Switch using the HTTP protocol. Your
browser window may vary with the screen shots (pictures) in this guide.
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.

Getting Started

The first step in getting started in using Web-based management for your Switch is to secure a
browser. A Web browser is a program that allows a person to read hypertext, for example,
Opera, Netscape Navigator, or Microsoft Internet Explorer. Follow the installation instructions
for the browser.
The second and last step is to configure the IP interface of the Switch. This should be done
manually through a console (see the Configure IP Address section in the "Using The Console
Interface" chapter).
You are now ready to begin managing your switch by simply running the browser installed on
your computer and pointing 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. Please note that the proxy fro this session should be turned
off.
After initially entering the IP address into the URL of the browser, the following screen may
appear:
