Web-Based Configuration and Monitoring
In addition to the menu-driven system configuration program, this switch also
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 4.0 or above, or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above).
Prior to accessing the switch from a Web browser, be sure you have first performed
the following tasks:
1. Configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway using an
out-of-band serial connection or BOOTP protocol.
2. Set a user name and password using an out-of-band serial connection. Access
to the Web agent is controlled by the same user name and password as the
onboard configuration program.
