This section describes how you can set up web interface management 
over the network.

■

Ensure you have already set up the Switch with IP information as 
described in 

 on 

.

■

Ensure that the Switch is connected to the network using a Category 
5 twisted pair Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors.

■

A suitable Web browser.

To display the web interface correctly, use one of the following Web 
browser and platform combinations:

Table 8   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 enable style sheets in Netscape Navigator 4.76 on Solaris 2.6, open 
Netscape Navigator and select Edit > Preferences > Fonts. Select the Use 
document-specified fonts, including Dynamic Fonts radio button. You 
should also set the font sizes as follows:

■

Variable Width Font - Size 10.0

■

Fixed Width Font - Size 12.0

This ensures that the text spacing is correct. Finally in the Advanced 
category ensure that Enable JavaScript and Enable style sheets are 
checked.
