3. Operation of Web-based

Management

This chapter instructs you how to configure and manage the SM8P-SFP

through the web user interface it supports, to access and manage the 6-Port
100/1000 Dual Speed SFP and 2-Port Gigabit TP/ (100/1000M) SFP Fiber
management Ethernet switch. With this facility, you can easily access and monitor
through any one port of the switch all the status of the switch, including MIBs status,
each port activity, Spanning tree status, port aggregation status, multicast traffic,
VLAN and priority status, even illegal access record and so on.

The default values of the managed switch are listed in the table below:

IP Address

192.168.1.77

255.255.255.0

192.168.1.254

admin

Subnet Mask

Default Gateway

Username

Password

root

Table 3-1

After the managed switch has been finished configuration in the CLI via the

switch’s serial interface, you can browse it. For instance, type

http://192.168.1.77

in

the address row in a browser, it will show the following screen (see Fig.3-1) and ask
you inputting username and password in order to login and access authentication.
The default username and password are both “admin”. For the first time to use,
please enter the default username and password, then click the button.
The login process now is completed.

Just click the link of “Forget Password” in WebUI (See Fig. 3-1) or input

“Ctrl+Z” in CLI’s login screen (See Fig. 4-1~4-2) in case the user forgets the
manager’s password. Then, the system will display a serial No. for the user. Write
down this serial No. and contact your vendor, the vendor will give you a temporary
password. Use this new password as ID and Password, and it will allow the user to
login the system with manager authority temporarily. Due to the limit of this new
password, the user only can login the system one time, therefore, please modify
your password immediately after you login in the system successfully.

In this login menu, you have to input the complete username and password

respectively, the switch will not give you a shortcut to username automatically. This
looks inconvenient, but safer.

In the switch, it supports a simple user management function allowing only

one administrator to configure the system at the same time. If there are two or more
users using administrator’s identity, the switch will allow the only one who logins first
to configure the system. The rest of users, even with administrator’s identity, can
only monitor the system. For those who have no administrator’s identity, can only
monitor the system. There are only a maximum of three users able to login
simultaneously in the switch.
