Connecting to the Web Management Console

Now that your port is configured and HTTP is enabled, you can connect to the Web Management Console. From any browser or address bar, type the address of your switch and the corresponding port number. For this example, the port number is 1024, and the URL should look something like http://192.1.2.1:1024/.

Note You can connect by hostname and port (e.g. http://cat1900.xyz.com:1024/) if DNS is configured on your network. However, keep in mind that in times of network troubleshooting, it’s better to use native IP instead of DNS resolution.

Once you enter your URL, you’ll be prompted for an account and password. When you enter the password with no account specified, the switch will validate your password and redirect you to the Switch Manager Basic System Configuration Page shown in Figure 14.1.
