3. Operation of the Web Based

Management

The following chapter allows the administrator to monitor and manage the GSM Series Switches through the web management interface. Management functionality such as Port Based and 802.1q VLAN, Port Aggregation (Trunking), QoS, Port configuration and much more can all be configured quickly and easily via any port of the GSM Series switches.

To access the web management of the GSM Series switches open a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox and enter the default IP address into the address bar. The default network settings for the GSM Series switches are shown below:

IP Address: 192.168.1.1

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 192.168.1.254

Username: admin

Password: admin

Once you have entered the IP address of the GSM Series switch into a web browser you will be prompted with a login screen where you will need to enter a valid username and password to gain access to the switch. The default username and password are shown above.

The GSM Series switches only allow one administrator to configure the switch at one time. If another user has logged into the switch with the administrator credentials then only the first admin logged in will be able to configure the switch, the other admin will only be able to monitor the switch. Other users can also be created to gain access to the switch for monitoring purposes only. In total only three users can have access to the web management at any one time.
