For instructions to set the IP address of the switch, refer to Setting the switch IP
parameters” on page 18.
Access to the Web management interface must also be enabled for the switch (the
default setting) using the console interface. For information about enabling Web
access, refer to Using the Business Policy Switch 2000.
Accessing the Web interface
Before you log in to the Web management interface, use the console interface to
verify the VLAN port assignments and to make sure that the switch CPU and your
computer are assigned to the same VLAN. If the devices are not connected to the
same VLAN, the IP address of the switch will not open the home page.
To access the Web interface:
1 Start your Web browser.
2 In the Web address field of your Web browser, type the switch IP address, and
press [Enter].
If this is the first time you are logging in to the Web management interface,
the System Information home page opens (Figure 21).
Note: As long as you have a route to the switch and there are no filters or
access policies in effect, you should be able to monitor the switch using the
Web interface.
