CHAPTER 3 WEB-BASED MANAGEMENT

Web-Based Configuration and Monitoring

As well as the menu-driven system configuration program, the agent module provides an embedded HTTP Web agent. This agent can be accessed by any computer on the network using a standard Web browser (Internet Explorer 4.0 or above, or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above).

Using the Web browser management interface you can configure a switch and view statistics to monitor network activity. The Web interface also provides access to a range of SNMP management functions with access to the switch’s MIB and RMON database.

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

1.Configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway using an out-of-band serial connection or BOOTP protocol.

2.Set the Administrator user name and password using an out-of-band serial connection. Access to the Web agent is controlled by the same Administrator user name and password as the on-board configuration program.
