Requirements for Accessing the Web Interface

To connect to the Web interface, you need the following:

 Ensure that the switch is connected to the network using a Category 5 twisted pair Ethernet cable with

RJ-45 connectors.

 Ensure that you know your switch’s IP address. See “Configuring IP Address”.

 Check that your management workstation is on the same subnet as your switch.

 Choose a suitable Web browser.

Choosing a Web Browser

To display the Web interface correctly, use one of the following Web browsers and platform combinations:

them if you have changed your browser settings.
