Table 9   Supported Web Browsers and Platforms

For the browser to operate the web interface correctly, JavaScript™ and 
Cascading Style Sheets must be enabled on your browser. These features 
are enabled on a browser by default. You will only need to enable them if 
you have changed your browser settings.

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

1 Check that you have the IP protocol correctly installed on your 

management workstation. You can check this by trying to browse the 
World Wide Web. If you can browse, the IP protocol is installed.

2 Check you can communicate with the Switch by entering a ping 

command at the DOS 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.

3 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:

4 At the login and password prompts, enter 

 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).

5 Click on the Device View button to display the web management options.
