Overview of the Web Management Interface
To access the switch through the web management interface, use the latest version of a web
browser such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Internet Explorer.
browser such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Internet Explorer.
The web management interface and CLI differ in various ways. For example, on the web
management interface, you can display the entire forwarding database. The CLI displays
only 10 entries starting at specified addresses.

The switch accommodates two types of users: administrative users and guests. An
administrative user can configure the switch for network application, but a guest cannot. The
guest can only view the settings and status of the network. By default, both users can log in
without a password. We strongly recommend that you create a unique password for the
administrative user before placing the switch into production.

Start the Switch and Observe the Power-On Self-Test
When you supply power to the switch, the switch goes through a power-on self-test (POST).
The POST runs every time that the switch initializes and checks the switch hardware before
the switch boots. If the POST detects a critical problem, the startup procedure stops. The
boot process runs for approximately 60 seconds.

If POST passes successfully, a valid executable image loads into RAM. If you connect a local
terminal to the switch, POST messages display on the terminal and indicate test success or
failure.
