Digital Networks North America DNswitch 800 Setting Up Web Management, Setting an IP Address

2. USING WEB-BASED MANAGEMENT

Setting Up Web Management

Before running Web-based management, some basic configuration of the switch may need to be performed. The following information at a minimum must be configured or known for the switch to be managed:

•IP Address

•Administrator password

•HTTP Server Enable

In addition, several other parameters may need to be configured or known to properly communicate with the switch or allow full management capability. These include:

•Default Gateway

•Trap Destination and Community Name

Configuration of these items may be made from the console user interface, which is accessible via either the serial console or Telnet. Refer to the DNswitch 800 User’s Guide that came with your system for more information about setting up either of these connections to the switch. The following subsections describe the required configuration.

Setting an IP Address

The IP address for the switch must be set before it can be managed with Digital Networks WebView. The switch IP address may be automatically set using the BootP protocol, in which case the actual address assigned to the switch must be known. Refer to the DNswitch 800 Management Guide.

The IP address may alternatively be set manually as follows:

1.Starting at the Main Menu of the console user interface, select Management Setup Menu / Network Configuration / IP Configuration.

2.Select IP Address from the menu and enter the IP address.

3.Select Subnet Mask from the menu and enter the appropriate mask.

4.Press <APPLY>.
