For more information on assigning user names, levels, and passwords, refer to Chapter 3.

If multiple people access the same switch using the Web Interface, you might see the following error message:

After logging in to the switch, the Web Interface home page is displayed.

The Web Interface divides the browser screen into the following sections:

Task frame

Content frame

Standalone buttons

The task frame has two sections: menu buttons submenu links. There are four task buttons, as follows:

Configuration

Statistics

Support

Logout

Below the task buttons are options. Options are specific to the task button that you select. When you select an option, the information displayed in the content frame changes. However, when you select a new task button, the content frame does not change until you select a new option.

Submitting a configuration page with no change will result in an asterisk
