Access to the Web management interface for the switch is enabled by default. You can configure access to the interface using the CLI. For information about enabling Web access, see Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series Security — Configuration and Management (NN47215-505).

Logging in to the web-based management interface

Before you log in to the web-based management interface, use the CLI to verify the VLAN port assignments and to ensure that your switch CPU and computer are assigned to the same VLAN. If the devices are not connected to the same VLAN, the IP address cannot display the home page.

To log in to the web-based management interface, use the following procedure:

Step Action

1Start your Web browser.

2In the address bar, type the IP address for your host switch, for example, http://192.168.151.175, and press Enter.

Network security does not exist the first time you access the embedded Web server. The system administrator must create access parameters and passwords to protect the integrity of your network configuration(s).
