Connection to

Use the Web

Browser

Interface

In order for you to manage a switch using the web browser interface, the
switch must have an IP address and subnet mask. You must use the
menus interface to assign an IP address.

Note

The remote management station must be a member of the switch’s
Default VLAN. The switch responds and processes management
packets only if they are received on an untagged port of the Default
VLAN.

To start a web browser management session, perform the following
procedure:

1. Start your web browser.

Note

If your PC with the web browser is connected directly to the switch to
be managed or is on the same side of a firewall as the switch, you
must configure your browser’s network options not to use proxies.
Consult your web browser’s documentation on how to configure the
switch’s web browser to not use proxies.

2. In the URL field of the browser, enter the IP address of the switch to be

managed, as shown in Figure 18.
