DNswitch 800 Using Web-Based Management 3
2. USING WEB-BASED MANAGEMENT
Setting Up Web Management
Before running Web-based management, some basic configuration of the
switch may need to be performed. The following information at a minimum
must be configured or known for the switch to be managed:
• IP Address
• Administrator password
• HTTP Server Enable
In addition, several other parameters may need to be configured or known
to properly communicate with the switch or allow full management
capability. These include:
• Default Gateway
• Trap Destination and Community Name
Configuration of these items may be made from the console user
interface, which is accessible via either the serial console or Telnet. Refer
to the DNswitch 800 User’s Guide that came with your system for more
information about setting up either of these connections to the switch. The
following subsections describe the required configuration.
Setting an IP Address
The IP address for the switch must be set before it can be managed with
Digital Networks WebView. The switch IP address may be automatically
set using the BootP protocol, in which case the actual address assigned
to the switch must be known. Refer to the DNswitch 800 Management
Guide.
The IP address may alternatively be set manually as follows:
1. Starting at the Main Menu of the console user interface, select
Management Setup Menu / Network Configuration / IP Configuration.
2. Select IP Address from the menu and enter the IP address.
3. Select Subnet Mask from the menu and enter the appropriate mask.
4. Press .
