Overview

The device provides web-based configuration interfaces for visual device management and maintenance.

Logging in to the Web interface

You can use the following default settings to log in to the web interface through HTTP:

•Username—admin

•Password—None

•IP address of VLAN-interface 1 on the device—IP address of the device, depending on the status of the network where the device resides.

{If the device is not connected to the network, or no DHCP server exists in the subnet where the device resides, you can get the IP address of the device on the label on the device. IP address is 169.254.xxx.xxx. If the MAC address is 08004E000102, the IP address would be 169.254.1.2.

{If a DHCP server exists in the subnet where the device resides, the device will dynamically obtain its IP address through the DHCP server.

You can log in to the device through the console port, and execute the summary command to view the information about its IP address.

Assuming that the IP address of the device is 169.254.1.2, to log in to the Web interface of the device from a PC:

1.Connect the Ethernet interface of the device to a PC by using a crossover Ethernet cable. By default, all interfaces belong to VLAN 1.

2.Configure an IP address for the PC and make sure that the PC and device can reach each other.

For example, assign the PC an IP address (for example, 169.254.1.27) within 169.254.0.0/16 (except for the IP address of the device).

3.Open the browser, and input the login information.

a.Type the IP address http:// 169.254.1.2 in the address bar and press Enter. The login page of the web interface (see Figure 5) appears.
