3.The System Description Menu displays as shown in Figure 2, with the navigation tree appearing to the left of the screen.

4.Make a selection by clicking on the appropriate item in the navigation tree.

Web Page Layout

A Web interface panel for the switch Web page consists of three areas (Figure 2).

A banner graphic of the switch appears across the top of the panel.

The second area, a hierarchical-tree view appears to the left of the panel. The tree consists of a combination of folders, subfolders, and configuration and status HTML pages. You can think of the folders and subfolders as branches and the configuration and status HTML pages as leaves. Only the selection of a leaf (not a folder or subfolder) will cause the display of a new HTML page. A folder or subfolder has no corresponding HTML page.

The third area, at the bottom-right of the panel, displays the currently selected device configuration status and/or the user configurable information that you have selected from the tree view.
