2. Type the IP address (or DNS name) of the switch in the browser Location
or Address field and press [Enter]. (It is not necessary to include
http://) For example:
10.11.12.195 [Enter]
If you are using a Domain Name Server (DNS), your device may have a
name associated with it (for example, switch20) that you can type in the
Location or Address field instead of the IP address. Using DNS names
typically improves browser performance. As such, we recommend that
you assign a DNS name to each device that you access with the web
browser interface.
The web browser interface automatically starts with the Status Overview
window displayed for the selected device as shown in figure 3-1 on the
next page.
Using HP TopTools for Hubs & Switches
For more on installing and using HP TopTools for Hubs & Switches, refer to
the HP TopTools for Hubs & Switches booklet and CD-ROM that came with
your switch.
This procedure assumes the following:
■ You have installed the web browser recommended for HP TopTools on a
PC or workstation that serves as your network management station.
■ The networked device you want to access has been assigned an IP address
and, preferably, a DNS name and it has been discovered by HP TopTools.
(For more on assigning an IP address, refer to chapter 2, “Configuring an
IP Address on the Switch”.)
To establish a Web browser session with HP TopTools running, do the
following on the network management station:
1. Make sure the Java
TM
applets are enabled for your browser. If they are
not, refer to the browser online help for specific information on enabling
the Java applets.
2. Do one of the following tasks:
• On the HP TopTools Maps view, double-click on the symbol for the
networking device that you want to access.
• In HP TopTools, in the Topology Information dialog box, in the device
list, double-click on the entry for the device you want to access (IP
address or DNS name).
