CHAPTER 3
WEB INTERFACE
Web-Based Configuration and Monitoring
In addition to the menu-driven system configuration program, this switch also provides an embedded HTTP Web agent. Using a Web browser you can configure the switch and view statistics to monitor network activity. The Web 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).
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 a user name and password using an out-of-band serial connection. Access to the Web agent is controlled by the same user name and password as the onboard configuration program.
