Configuring the Switch
Enabling the Embedded Web Server
Select this option from the Configure menu to enable or disable
remote access to the Embedded Web Server (EWS) interface on the
switch. (Refer to Appendix C for more information on using the Web
Server.)
EMC recommends using Connectrix Manager to manage the switch.
However, the EWS can be used if Connectrix Manager is not available.
If the Enable Web Server box is checked, access to the interface is
enabled. Clicking the box adds/removes a checkmark.
DS-32M2s are normally installed inside the Connectrix cabinet and
connected to the private Ethernet LAN inside the cabinet. A DS-32M2
can be installed outside the Connectrix cabinet and still be managed
by Connectrix Manager; however, this requires that the switch be
configured with a public IP address to which the Connectrix service
processor is also connected.
If the EWS (rather than Connectrix Manager) is used to manage the switch,
the switch must also be configured with a public IP address.
If you configure a DS-16M to reside on a public LAN and you do not
plan to use the EWS interface, you should disable it in Connectrix
Manager. If you do plan to use the EWS, change the default
passwords in order to prevent others from logging in to the switch
via the EWS. (Refer to Configuring User Rights on page C-21 for
information on changing the EWS passwords.)
