DES-3326 Layer 3 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide

USING WEB-BASED MANAGEMENT

Setting Up Web Management

Before running Web-based management, some basic configuration of the switch may need to be performed. The following at a minimum must be configured or known for the switch to be managed:

IP Address

Administrator password

In addition, several other parameters may need to be configured or known to properly communicate with the switch or allow full management capability. These include:

Default Gateway

Trap Destination and Community Name

Configuration of these items may be made from the User Interface, which is accessible via either the serial console or Telnet. Refer to the User’s Guide that came with your system for more information describing the required configuration.

Setting an IP Address

The IP address for the switch must be set before it can be managed with the Web-based manager. The switch IP address may be automatically set using BOOTP protocol, in which case the actual address assigned to the switch must be known.

The IP address may alternatively be set manually as follows:

1.Starting at the Main Menu of the User Interface, select Remote Management Setup.

2.Enter the IP address in the New Switch IP Settings section of the Remote Management Setup screen.

3.Enter a Subnet Mask in the next field.

4.Click APPLY to make the change effective. Use Save Changes from the Main Menu to enter the IP address into NV-RAM.

Setting a Default Gateway

The default gateway parameter defines the IP address of a router or other network device to which IP packets are to be sent if destined for an interface outside of that in which the switch is operating. This parameter must be set if you are attempting to manage the switch from a remote network or across the Internet.

1.Starting at the Main Menu of the User Interface, select Remote Management Setup.

2.Enter the Gateway IP address of the router in the Default Gateway field in the New Switch IP Settings section of the Remote Management Setup screen.

3.Click APPLY to make the change effective. Use Save Changes from the Main Menu to enter the IP address into NV-RAM.
