Chapter 4 The Web Configurator
Figure 17 Change Administrator Login Password
4.4 Saving Your Configuration
When you are done modifying the settings in a screen, click Apply to save your changes back to the switch.
4.5 Switch Lockout
You could block yourself (and all others) from using the web configurator if you:
1Remove all the ports from the default VLAN (default is VLAN 1) when no other VLANs exist.
2Disable all ports.
3Forget the password and/or IP address.
4Enable Dynamic ARP without entering the proper MAC to IP address binding.
4.6Resetting the Switch
If you lock yourself (and others) from the switch or forget the administrator password, you will need to reset the switch back to the factory defaults.
Use the RESET button on the front panel of the switch to reset the switch back to factory defaults. Press and hold the RESET button for one second. The switch will reload its factory defaults.
The switch is now reinitialized with a default configuration file including the default administrator username (admin) and password (1234). The IP address of the switch also reverts to the default 192.168.1.1.
4.7 Logging Out of the Web Configurator
Click Logout in the navigation panel to exit the web configurator. You have to log in with your password again after you log out. This is recommended after you finish a management session for security reasons.
