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 5.0 or above, or
Firefox v1.5 or above).
Prior to accessing the switch from a Web browser, be sure you have
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 6-17.
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.
