8 Web-Based Management Interface
8.1 Overview
Your Layer 3 Network Switch provides a built-in browser software interface that lets you
configure and manage it remotely using a standard Web browser such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer or Netscape Navigator. This software interface also allows for system monitoring
and management of the Network Switch. When you configure this Network Switch for the first
time from the console, you have to assign an IP address and subnet mask to the Network
Switch. Thereafter, you can access the Network Switch’s Web software interface directly
using your Web browser by entering the switch’s IP address into the address bar. In this way,
you can use your Web browser to manage the Switch from any remote PC station, just as if
you were directly connected to the Network Switch’s console port.
