Starting McDATA Web Server

To start McDATA Web Server after the switch is operational, enter the switch IP address in an internet browser. The workstation used to manage the switch must be able to connect to the default switch IP address 10.0.0.1.

1.At the workstation, enter the default switch IP address (10.0.0.1) in an internet browser. If your workstation does not have the Java 2 Run Time Environment program, you will be prompted to download it.

2.Enter the login name (default is admin) and password (default is password) in the Add a New Fabric dialog.

3.Click Add Fabric. If you do not have a secure Ethernet connection, the Non Secure Connection Check dialog will prompt you to establish a non-secure connection.

4.The Password Change Required dialog prompts you to change the default password. Click the OK button. This dialog will prompt you to change the default password each time you log in until you change it. See ”Managing user accounts” on page 49 for information about changing the password.

5.Select Switch > Network Properties.

6.Change the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway settings to reflect your desired network configuration in the Network Properties dialog.

7.Click OK.

8.Close the browser window to close the McDATA Web Server application. The switch is now ready to be managed through your network.

9.Repeat steps 1—4 using the switch's newly configured IP address to launch the McDATA Web Server application once your configured switch is connected to the network.
