To manage a switch using the web interface over an IP network: 

1 Be sure that you know your switch’s IP address. See “IP Configuration” 

on page 22, and “Viewing IP Information using the Console Port” on 
page 25.

2 Check that your management workstation is on the same subnet as your 

switch.

3 Check you can communicate with the switch by entering a ping 

command at the DOS or CMD prompt in the following format: 

(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the switch)

If you get an error message, check that your IP information has been 
entered correctly and the switch is powered up.

4 Open your web browser and enter the IP address of the switch that you 

wish to manage in the URL locator, for example, in the following format:

5 At the login and password prompts, enter admin as your user name and 

press Return at the password prompt (or the password of your choice if 
you have already modified the default passwords).

The main Web interface page is displayed.

You can use any network management application running the Simple 
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to manage the switch. 3Com 
offers a range of network management applications to address networks 
of all sizes and complexity. See “3Com Network Management” on 
page 212.

To display and configure SNMP management parameters, refer to 
“Configuring SNMP” on page 155.
