5.2.1 Login into the DKVM-IP8 switch
Launch your web browser. Direct it to the address of your DKVM-IP8 switch, which you
configured during the installation process. The address used might be a plain IP address or a
host and domain name, in the case where you have given your DKVM-IP8 switch a symbolic
name in the DNS. For instance, type the following in the address line of your browser when
establishing an unsecured connection:
http://<IP address of DKVM-IP8>
When using a secure connection, type in:
https://<IP address of DKVM-IP8>
This will lead you to the DKVM-IP8 switch login page as shown in Figure 5-2.

Warning: The user “ super ” is not allowed to login via the serial interface of the
DKVM-IP8
switch.
Warning: Please make sure to change the super user password immediately after you
have installed and accessed your DKVM-IP8 switch for the first time. Not
changing the pass phrase for the super user is a severe security risk and might
result in unauthorized access to the DKVM-IP8 switch and to the host system
including all
possible consequences!
