This section introduces the configuration and functions of the Web-
Based management.
About Web-based Management
Inside the CPU board of the switch exists an embedded HTML web
site residing in flash memory. It offers advanced management
features and allow users to manage the switch from anywhere on
the network through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer.
The Web-Based Management supports Internet Explorer 5.0. It is
based on Java Applets with an aim to reduce network bandwidth
consumption, enhance access speed and present an easy viewing
screen.
Note: By default, IE5.0 or later version does not allow Java Applets
to open sockets. The user has to explicitly modify the browser
setting to enable Java Applets to use network ports. ( See Appendix
A: for the means to modify the setting ).
