Section II: Using the Web Browser Interface
Establishing a Remote Connection to Use the Web Browser Interface
In order for you to manage an AT-GS950/16 or AT-GS950/24 switch using
the web browser interface, the switch must have an IP address and subnet
mask. To manually assign an IP address, refer to “Configuring the IP
Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address” on page 34. To configure
the switch to obtain its IP configuration from a DHCP server, refer to
“Enabling and Disabling the DHCP Client” on page 37. The initial
assignment of an IP address must be made through a local management
session.
Note
Enhanced stacking, a feature of other Allied Telesis Layer 2 and
Layer 2+ managed switches, is not supported by the AT-GS950/16
and AT-GS950/24 Smart Switches.
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.
2. In the URL field of the browser, enter the IP address of the switch to be
managed.
