IP address. It should be noted that the switch regards a VLAN with an IP network address and
corresponding subnet mask assigned as an IP interface in IP Routing mode.

Defining Static Routes

Routes between the IP interfaces and a default gateway or other router with a WAN connection should
be determined beforehand and entered into the static/default routing table on the DES-3326.

Getting Started

The first step in getting started in using web-based management for your Switch is to secure a browser.
A Web browser is a program that allows a person to read hypertext, for example, Opera, Netscape
Navigator, or Microsoft Internet Explorer. Follow the installation instructions for the browser.

The second and last step is to configure the IP interface of the Switch. This can be done manually
through a console (see the Configure IP Address section in Chapter 6, “Using The Console Interface”).

Management

To begin managing your Switch simply run the browser you have installed on your computer and point
it to the IP address you have defined for the device. The URL in the address bar should read something
like: http://123.123.123.123, where the numbers 123 represent the IP address of the switch.

Note: The Factory default IP address for the switch is 10.90.90.90.
