Starting a Web Browser Management Session
This section explains how to start a web browser management session.
There must be at least one AT-8000 Series switch on your network that
has been assigned an IP address. The switch with the IP address is
referred to as the master switch. Once you have started a Telnet
management session on the master switch, you will have management
access to all other AT-8000 Series switches that reside in the same
subnet.
Note
For background information on enhanced stacking, refer to
Enhanced Stacking Overview on page 53.
To start a web browser management session, perform the following
procedure:
1. Start your web browser.
Note
If your PC with the web browser is connected directly to the switch
to be managed or is on the same side of a firewall as the switch, you
must configure your browser’s network options not to use proxies.
Consult your web browser’s documentation on how to configure
the switch’s web browser not to use proxies.
2. Enter the IP address of the master switch of the enhanced stack in the
URL field of the browser, as shown in Figure 64.

3. When prompted, enter a user name and password. For manager
access, enter “manager” as the user name. The default password is
“admin”. For operator access, enter “operator” as the user name. The
default password is “friend”. The passwords are case-sensitive. (For
information on the two access levels, refer to Management Access
Levels on page 24.)
