Web-based Management
Web-based Configuration and Monitoring
The Network Management Module provides an embedded HTTP Web
agent in addition to the menu-driven system configuration program.
This agent can be accessed by any computer on the network using a
standard Web browser (Internet Explorer 4.0 or above, or Netscape
Navigator 4.0 or above).
Note
If you experience a screen refresh problem with Internet Explorer 5.0,
you can use the Back and Forward buttons in the Tool bar to manually
refresh the window, or you can use IE 4.0 or Navigator 4.0.
Using the Web browser management interface you can configure a
switch stack, view statistics, and monitor network activity. The Web
interface also provides access to a range of SNMP management
functions with its MIB and RMON browser utilities.
Prior to accessing the Network Management Module from a Web
browser, be sure you have first performed the following tasks:
1. Configure the switch with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway using an out-of-band serial connection or BootP protocol.
2. Set user names and passwords using an out-of-band serial
connection. Access to the Web Agent is controlled by the same
Administrator user names and passwords as the on-board
configuration program.
Note
If the PC is directly connected to the AT-8324SX switch, you must turn
off the network proxy in the Web browser. For instructions on how to
turn off the network proxy, refer to your Web browser
documentation.
