After you have assigned an IP address to the switch and installed the plug-in, you can access the switch from your browser and use the Cluster Management Suite to view or change configuration settings. If this is a command switch, you can also use the Cluster Management application to configure other switches. To use web-based tools, follow the procedure to set the appropriate browser options.
