Web management interface
The Business Policy Switch Web management interface is a Web-based graphical
user interface that you use with a Web browser to manage a standalone switch or
switch stack. You can access devices on your network from various locations
within the network.
To access the Web interface, you need a Web browser and an IP address for the
switch or switch stack. To assign the IP address to the switch, refer to “Setting the
switch IP parameters” next.
Setting the switch IP parameters
To allow management access to the switch, you must assign IP parameters for the
switch.
To set the IP parameters:
1 Connect a terminal to the Console port on the switch.
2 Set the terminal protocol as follows:
• 9600 baud
• No parity
• 8 bits
• 1 stop bit
• Flow control set to Xon/Xoff
• Window Terminal Emulator option set to no
• Terminal Preferences: Function, Arrow, and Control keys active
• Buffer size set to 24
3 Connect the switch to power.
4 After the Nortel Networks logo is displayed, press [Ctrl]-Y to display the
Main Menu (Figure 1).
At first the screen displays the Main Menu for a standalone switch. Then, if
the switch is part of a stack configuration, the screen is refreshed within 20
seconds to show the Main Menu for a stack configuration. The Main Menu for
a stack configuration includes stack features (bold text in Figure 1).
