Overview

This chapter describes the features included in the Web-based utility. All of the features shown in this chapter, unless specifically identified, are included in the Fast Ethernet switches. Additional features for the Gigabit switches are specified with images for the Gigabit Ethernet’s utility included.

Accessing the Web-based Utility

Open your web browser and enter 192.168.1.254 into the Address field. Press the Enter key and the login screen will appear. The first time you open the Web-based Utility, enter admin in the User Name field, and leave the Password field blank. Click the OK button. You can set a password later from the System Password screen.

The first screen that appears is the System Description screen. This allows you to access six main tabs: Sys. Info. (System Information), IP Conf. (Configuration), Switch Conf. (Configuration), QoS (Quality of Service), Security, SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol), Statistics, Logs, Maintenance, and Help. Click one of the main tabs to view additional tabs.

An About button appears at the top of each screen. Clicking this button will bring up the versioning information of the Switch. The LEDs on the screen display status information about their corresponding ports. A green LED

indicates a connection, while a blue LED indicates no connection. When you click a port’s LED, the statistics forFigure 5-1: Login Screen that port are displayed.

NOTE: The LEDs displayed in the Web-based Utility are not the same as the LEDs on the front panel of the Switch. The front panel LEDs display different status information, which is described in Chapter 2: Getting to Know the Switch.
