Configuring The Switch for Web Based Management
The Switch has the following default values that need to be adjusted to suit your network:
IP Address: | 10.10.10.10 |
Subnet Mask: | 255.255.255.0 |
Default Gateway: | 10.10.10.254 |
User Name: | root |
Password: | root |
1.Obtain the correct local IP addresses from your network administrator and enter the values from the console menu as detailed on page 17. This IP information has to be entered via the console, as the web interface will not be accessible until the local IP address values have been entered, saved and the Switch restarted.
2.After the Switch has been restarted with the new IP address, check that the Switch is visible on the network by ‘pinging’ the address. If the Switch is present and correctly configured, then the ‘ping’ will echo back a response message otherwise the message “Request Timeout” will be displayed. Ensure that the Switch can be ‘pinged’ before proceeding. Consult your system administrator for details of ‘pinging’. The syntax from your PC is:
Start >Run> ping 162.109.37.13 –t
Where the 162.109.37.13 is the example IP address allocated to the Switch The
3.After the ‘ping’ test has passed, open a web browser window (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer) and enter the allocated IP address of the Switch into the URL field. For example:
http://162.109.37.13
If all the settings are correct, then the browser will display a user name and password box similar to the one below:
