This switch provides an embedded HTTP Web agent. Using a Web 
browser you can configure the switch and view statistics to monitor 
network activity. The Web agent can be accessed by any computer on the 
network using a standard Web browser (Internet Explorer 5.0 or above, or 
Netscape Navigator 6.2 or above).

Note: You can also use the Command Line Interface (CLI) to manage 

the switch over a serial connection to the console port or via 
Telnet.

 

For more information on using the CLI, refer to Chapter 4 

Prior to accessing the switch from a Web browser, be sure you have first 
performed the following tasks:

1.   Configure the switch with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default 

gateway using an out-of-band serial connection, BOOTP or DHCP 
protocol. (See

 

2. Set user names and passwords using an out-of-band serial connection. 

Access to the Web agent is controlled by the same user names and 
passwords as the onboard configuration program. (See “Setting 
Passwords” on page 2-5.)

3. After you enter a user name and password, you will have access to the 

system configuration program.
