8.On the PC, bypass the HTTP proxy server, if necessary

See “HTTP Proxy Servers” on page 23 for more information.

9.Point your web browser at the LAN interface’s IP address

For normal access, point your web browser to http://ip-address

For secure access, point your web browser to https://ip-address

where ip-addressis the interface’s IP address.

10.At the login prompt, enter the user name and password

The default username is manager:

User Name: manager

Password: friend

The System Status page is displayed (see Figure 6 on page 31). Select options from the sidebar menu to configure and manage the switch.

Option 3: Connecting to an Installed Switch

Use this procedure if:

■At least one interface on the switch already has an IP address, and the switch is already installed in a LAN.

1.Find out the IP address of the switch’s interface

Ask your system administrator. Alternatively, access the CLI, as described in “Connecting a Terminal or PC” on page 14, and enter the command:

SHOW IP INTERFACE

You can browse to the switch through any VLAN, as long as you give that VLAN an IP address (see below). These instructions assume you will use vlan1. The switch ports all belong to vlan1 by default.

2.Select a PC

You can browse to the GUI from any PC that:

•has an IP address in the same subnet as the switch, or that the switch has a route to

•is running a supported operating system

•has a supported browser installed, with JavaScript enabled

See “Browser and PC Setup” on page 22 for more information.

3.If necessary, bypass the HTTP proxy server

See “HTTP Proxy Servers” on page 23 for more information.
