Step 3: Connect to the Server for the First Time
Chapter 1 Installing the Snap Server 9
Two procedures are described here for connecting to the Snap Server.
Connect Using the Server Name
1 Find the server name.
The default server name is SNAPnnnnnn, where nnnnnn is the server number.
For example, the name of a Snap Server with a server number of 401178 is
SNAP401178. The server number is a unique, numeric-only string that appears
on a label affixed to the underside of your Snap Server’s chassis.
2 Connect to the server.
In a Web browser,
enter the following
URL:
http://SNAPnnnnnn
(where nnnnnn is the
server number)
3 Press Enter.
The Web View screen
opens. Click the
Administration link.
Note If the Web View
screen does not open,
perform the Connect
to a Snap Server
Using Snap Server
Manager procedure.
4 Log into the
Administration Tool.
In the login dialog
box, enter admin as the
user name and admin
as the password, then click
OK.
Use this procedure if...
Connect Using the Server Name your network assigns IP addresses automatically.
Connect to a Snap Server Using Snap
Server Manager (SSM)
your network does not assign IP addresses
automatically or if your client cannot resolve the
server name to an IP address.
