Choosing a Browser
To display the web interface correctly, use one of the following Web
browser and platform combinations:
For the browser to operate the web interface correctly, JavaScript™ and
Cascading Style Sheets must be enabled on your browser. These features
are enabled on a browser by default. You will only need to enable them if
you have changed your browser settings.
Web Management
Over the Network
To manage a switch using the web interface over an IP network:
1 Check that you have the IP protocol correctly installed on your
management workstation. You can check this by trying to browse the
World Wide Web. If you can browse, the IP protocol is installed.
2 Check you can communicate with the switch by entering a ping command
at the DOS prompt in the following format:
c:\ ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the switch)
If you get an error message, check that your IP information has been
entered correctly and the switch is powered up.
3 Open your web browser and enter the IP address of the switch that you
wish to manage in the URL locator, for example, in the following format:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
