Introduction
All software functions of the DES-3550 can be managed, configured, and monitored via the
embedded web-based (HTML) interface. The Switch can be managed from remote stations
anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as Netscape
Navigator/Communicator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. The browser acts as a universal
access tool and can communicate directly with the Switch using the HTTP protocol.
The Web-based management module and the Console program (and Telnet) are different
ways to access the same internal switching software and configure it. Thus, all settings
encountered in web-based management are the same as those found in the console program.
Login to Web Manager
To begin managing your Switch, simply run the browser you have installed on your computer
and point it to the IP address you have defined for the device. The URL in the address bar
should read something like: http://123.123.123.123, where the numbers 123 represent the IP
address of the Switch.
NOTE: The Factory default IP address for the Switch is 10.90.90.90.
