This chapter introduces the management interface of D-Link EasySmart Switch.
Management Options
The D-Link EasySmart Switch can be managed through any port on the device by using the Web-based
Management or through any PC using the SmartConsole Utility.
Each switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with Web-Based
Management. The PC’s IP address should be in the same range as the switch. Each switch can allow only
one user to access the Web-Based Management at a time.
The PC should have an IP address in the same range as the switch. Each switch can allow one user to
access to the Web-Based Management at a time.
However, if you want to manage multiple D-Link EasySmart Switches, the SmartConsole Utility is a more
convenient choice. By using the SmartConsole Utility, you do not need to change the IP address of your PC
and it is easier to initialize multiple EasySmart Switches.
Please refer to the following installation instructions for the Web-based Management and the SmartConsole
Utility.
Using Web-based Management
After a successful physical installation, you can configure the Switch, monitor the network status, and display
statistics using a web browser.
