Chapter 3: Configuring the Switch
Using the Web Interface
This switch provides an embedded HTTP web agent. Using a web browser you can
configure the switch and view statistics to monitor network activity. The web agent
can be accessed by any computer on the network using a standard web browser
(Internet Explorer 5.5 or above, or Mozilla Firefox 1.0 or above).
Prior to accessing the switch from a web browser, be sure you have first performed
the following tasks:
1. Configure the switch with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
(Defaults: IP address 192.168.2.10; Subnet mask 255.255.255.0;
Gateway 0.0.0.0)
2. Set a new password using the web interface. (Default: “admin”). Access to the
web interface is controlled by the password. See “Configuring the Logon
Password” on page 3-12.
Note:
If you cannot remember the switch's IP address, you can restore the original
settings by following the procedure described in the “Troubleshooting” section.
Navigating the Web Browser Interface
To access the web-browser interface you must first enter a password. The user has
read/write access to all configuration parameters and statistics. The default
password for the switch is “admin.”
Note:
If user input is not detected within five minutes, the current session is terminated.
