CHAPTER 5 CONFIGURING THE SWITCH

Using the Web Interface

This switch provides an embedded HTTP web agent. Using a web browser you can configure the switch and view statistics to monitor network activity. The web agent can be accessed by any computer on the network using a standard web browser (Internet Explorer 5.5 or above, or Mozilla Firefox 1.0 or above).

Prior to accessing the switch from a web browser, be sure you have first performed the following tasks:

1.Configure the switch with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. (Defaults: IP address 192.168.2.10; Subnet mask 255.255.255.0; Gateway 0.0.0.0)

2.Set a new password using the web interface. (Default: “admin”). Access to the web interface is controlled by the password. See “Configuring the Logon Password” on page 5-15.

Note: If you cannot remember the switch's IP address, you can restore the original settings by following the procedure described in the “Troubleshooting” section.
