Workstation requirements
The requirements for fabric management workstations running the McDATA Web Server web applet are
listed in Table 2.
Starting McDATA Web Server
To start McDATA Web Server after the switch is operational, enter the switch IP address in an internet
browser. The workstation used to manage the switch must be able to connect to the default switch IP
address 10.0.0.1.
1. At the workstation, enter the default switch IP address (10.0.0.1) in an internet browser. If your
workstation does not have the Java 2 Run Time Environment program, you will be prompted to
download it.
2. Enter the login name (default is admin) and password (default is password) in the Add a New Fabric
dialog.
3. Click Add Fabric. If you do not have a secure Ethernet connection, the Non Secure Connection Check
dialog will prompt you to establish a non-secure connection.
4. The Password Change Required dialog prompts you to change the default password. Click the OK
button. This dialog will prompt you to change the default password each time you log in until you
change it. See ”Managing user accounts” on page 49 for information about changing the password.
5. Select Switch > Network Properties.
6. Change the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway settings to reflect your desired network
configuration in the Network Properties dialog.
7. Click OK.
8. Close the browser window to close the McDATA Web Server application. The switch is now ready to be
managed through your network.
9. Repeat steps 1—4 using the switch's newly configured IP address to launch the McDATA Web Server
application once your configured switch is connected to the network.
