Web Browser Management Session

You can also use a web browser to manage a switch. This too is a type of
remote management, just like a Telnet management session, because
you can manage a switch from any workstation on your network that has
a web browser.

There are some management functions that you cannot perform from a
a web browser management session. They are:

❑ Enhanced stacking - You cannot use the enhanced stacking

feature from a web browser management session. Consequently,
every AT-8024, AT-8024GB, and AT-8026FC Fast Ethernet Switch
that you want to manage on your network using a web browser
must have its own unique IP address.

❑ Port security level - You can view but not set the port security level

of a switch.

Note

For instructions on starting this type of management session, refer
to Starting a Web Browser Management Session on page 173.
