SMC Networks 10/100 manual Navigating the Web Browser Interface

CONFIGURING THE SWITCH

Notes: 1. You are allowed three attempts to enter the correct password; on the third failed attempt the current connection is terminated.

2.If you log into the Web interface as guest (Normal Exec level), you can view page information but only change the guest password. If you log in as “admin” (Privileged Exec level), you can apply changes on all pages.

3.If the path between your management station and this switch does not pass through any device that uses the Spanning Tree Algorithm, you can set the switch port attached to your management station to fast forwarding to improve the switch’s response time to management commands issued through the Web interface. See “Managing STA Interface Settings” on page 2-47.

Navigating the Web Browser Interface

To access the Web-browser interface you must first enter a user name and password. The administrator has Read/Write access to all configuration parameters and statistics. The default user name and password for the administrator is “admin.”
