4. Operation of Web-based Management

This chapter instructs you how to configure and manage the 24-Port GbE Web Smart Switch through its web user interface and how to access and manage 20 10/100/1000Mbps TP Port and 4 Gigabit TP/SFP Fiber dual media port. The switch provides 20 fixed Gigabit Ethernet TP ports and four optional Gigabit dual media ports supporting either fiber or TP media. With this facility, you can easily access and monitor the statuses of all ports through any one port of the switch, including MIBs status, activity of each port, multicast traffic, and so on.

The default values of 24-Port GbE Web Smart Switch are listed in the table

below:

IP Address

Subnet Mask

Default Gateway

Password

192.168.1.1

255.255.255.0

192.168.1.254

admin

Table 4-1

After the 24-Port GbE Web Smart Switch being finished configuration, you can browse it by using the IP address you set up for it. For instance, type http://192.168.1.1 in the address row in a browser, it will show the following screen (see Fig.4-1) and ask you to key in password in order to login and access authentication. The default password is “admin”. For the first time to use, please enter the default password, then click the <Apply> button. The login process is now completed.

In the switch, it supports a simple user management function which only allows one administrator to configure the system at one time.

To optimize and obtain best view on screen, we recommend you use Microsoft IE and have the resolution set to 1024x768.

Here is the whole function tree of the web user interface and we will go through it in this chapter.
