The Ethernet network management interface also provides access to the console commands listed in Chapter 7 through a Web
browser interface. When enabled (see SET WEBENABLE command) accessing the default page on the switch (by entering the
module’s IP address in the address bar of your Web browser application, for example, Internet Explorer®, Netscape®, etc.) will
present the following page:

Please logon:
Figure 8-1. Logon Screen.
NOTE: If using a pop-up blocker on your Web browser, be sure to allow pop-ups from the IP address of the switch; otherwise,
you could experience trouble receiving a response through the Web interface.
After successfully entering the correct Web password (see SET WEBPASSWORD command) you will get the command console
page shown in Figure 8-2.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT click on the “submit” button or press the “enter” key on your keyboard multiple times.
The Web browser interface on the switch typically responds w ithin a few seconds but may take as long as 5 to 10 seconds to
process certain commands and return a response. Clicking on “submit” or pressing “enter” multiple times while the switch is
processing a command can cause it to decide that the interface is not functioning properly. If this happens, the switch will
become non-responsive until it receives a valid login request. You must re-enter the switch IP address in the address bar of your
Web browser, and then re-logon when the logon screen appears.
