Deleting Temporary Files
Browsers store local copies of web pages as temporary files. If you upgrade to a new GUI resource file, or if you encounter problems in browsing to the GUI, you may need to delete these files (clear the cache). To clear the cache in Internet Explorer:
1.From the Tools menu, select Internet Options.
2.On the General tab, click the Delete Files button.
3.The Delete Files dialog box opens. Click the OK button.
To clear the cache in Netscape 6.2.x:
1.From the Edit menu, select Preferences
2.Click on the Advanced menu option to expand it.
3.Select the Cache menu option
4.Click the Clear Memory Cache and Clear Disk Cache buttons.
Accessing the Switch via the GUI
Problem You cannot browse to the switch.
Diagnosis Check if you can ping the switch’s interface from your PC. If you get a response, this indicates that the interface’s IP address is valid, and that your PC has a route to it.
Solution ■ If you cannot ping the switch’s interface:
•Check that your PC’s gateway is correct, so that your PC has a route to the switch.
•The IP address of the switch’s interface may be incorrect. To correct this, access the CLI and use the IPADDRESS parameter of command SET IP INTERFACE
•The IP address of the switch’s default gateway may be incorrect, so that the switch does not have a route back to your PC’s gateway. To correct this, access the CLI and use the NEXTHOP parameter of the command ADD IP ROUTE or SET IP ROUTE.
■If the switch should be dynamically assigned an IP address, check that the DHCP server can reach the switch, by pinging the switch from the DHCP server.
■If your PC accesses the Internet through a proxy server, you may need to set your browser to bypass the proxy when browsing to the switch’s IP address range. See “HTTP Proxy Servers” on page 23 for more information.
■If you cannot access the GUI because your username or password fails, check that you are spelling them correctly. The username “manager” will always be valid. Its default password is “friend”. Note that passwords are case sensitive.
