Chapter 14: Starting a Web Browser Management Session

Establishing a Remote Connection to Use the Web Browser Interface

In order for you to manage an AT-GS950/16 or AT-GS950/24 Smart Switch using the web browser interface, the switch must have an IP address and subnet mask. To manually assign an IP address, refer to “Configuring the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address” on page 30. To configure the switch to obtain its IP configuration from a DHCP server, refer to “Enabling and Disabling the DHCP Client” on page 33. The initial assignment of an IP address must be made through a local management session.

Note

Enhanced stacking, a feature of other Allied Telesyn Layer 2 and Layer 2+ managed switches, is not supported by the AT-GS950/16 and AT-GS950/24 Smart Switches.

Note

The remote management station must be a member of the switch’s Default VLAN. The switch responds and processes management packets only if they are received on an untagged port of the Default VLAN.

To start a web browser management session, perform the following procedure:

1. Start your web browser.

Note

If your PC with the web browser is connected directly to the switch to be managed or is on the same side of a firewall as the switch, you must configure your browser’s network options not to use proxies. Consult your web browser’s documentation on how to configure the switch’s web browser to not use proxies.

2.In the URL field of the browser, enter the IP address of the switch to be managed.
