Accessing the Interface Without Using
Discovery
The Discovery application works by automatically
detecting the IP address that is assigned to the
Switch, and then using that address to connect to the
Web interface. If you know the Switch’s IP address,
you can access the Web interface without using Dis
-
covery.
This section describes how to access the interface
directly, without using Discovery.
If you do not configure the Switch’s IP address set-
tings, it will perform auto IP configuration to assign
an IP address to itself. For more information, refer to
“Automatic IP Configuration” on page 31.
To determine the IP address that the Switch will
assign to itself during auto IP configuration, check the
sticker on the base of the Switch. This sticker contains
the MAC address and default IP address of the
Switch.
Port Configuration Allows you to configure the Switch’s
port settings
VLANs Allows you to create VLAN groups,
add port members, and specify how
VLAN tagging is used
Link Aggregation Allows you to set up and maintain
trunk membership for port groups
PoE Configuration Allows you to configure basic PoE set-
tings and the PoE settings of each
individual port
Statistics Displays the number of packets
received and transmitted from each
individual port
Traffic Monitoring Allows you to perform port traffic
monitoring on the Switch. To monitor
a port, you will also need a network
analyzer.
Traffic Prioritization Allows you to configure traffic prioriti-
zation for IP phones that are con-
nected to the Switch
Upgrade Allows you to upgrade the firmware
on the Switch. Before you can per
-
form an upgrade, you first need to
download firmware updates from the
3Com Web site.
