When your Web browser connects with the switch’s Web agent, the home page is
displayed as shown below. The home page displays the Main Menu on the left side
of the screen and System Information on the right side. The Main Menu links are
used to navigate to other menus, and display configuration parameters and
statistics.

If this is your first time to access the management agent, you should define a new
Administrator user name and password, record them and put them in a safe place.
Select Security from the Main Menu, and then enter a new user name and password
for the Administrator. Note that user names and passwords can consist of up to 8
alphanumeric characters and are case sensitive.
You are allowed three attempts to enter the correct password; on the third failed
attempt the current connection is terminated.

Configurable parameters have a dialog box or a drop-down list. Once a configuration
