Understanding the User Interfaces

The switch software includes a set of comprehensive management functions for configuring and monitoring the system by using one of the following methods:

•Web user interface

•Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

Each of the standards-based management methods allows you to configure and monitor the components of the switch software. The method you use to manage the system depends on your network size and requirements, and on your preference.

This manual describes how to use the Web-based interface to manage and monitor the system.

Using the Web Interface

To access the switch by using a Web browser, the browser must meet the following software requirements:

•HTML version 4.0, or later

•HTTP version 1.1, or later

•Java Runtime Environment 1.6 or later

Use the following procedures to log on to the Web interface:

1.Open a Web browser and enter the IP address of the switch in the Web browser address field.

2.The factory default password is password. Type the password into the field on the login screen, and then click Login. Passwords are case sensitive.

3.After the system authenticates you, the System Information page displays.
