Web Page Layout
A Web interface panel for the switch Web page consists of three areas.
A banner graphic of the switch appears across the top of the panel.
The second area, a hierarchical-tree view appears to the left of the panel. The tree consists of a
combination of folders, subfolders, and configuration and status HTML pages. You can think of
the folders and subfolders as branches and the configuration and status HTML pages as leafs. Only
the selection of a leaf (not a folder or subfolder) will cause the display of a new HTML page. A
folder or subfolder has no corresponding HTML page.
The third area, at the bottom-right of the panel, displays the currently selected device configuration
status and/or the user configurable information that you have selected from the tree view.
Configuring an SNMP V3 User Profile
Configuring an SNMP V3 user profile is a part of user configuration. Any user can connect to the
switch using the SNMPv3 protocol, but for authentication and encryption, additional steps are
needed. Use the following steps to configure an SNMP V3 new user profile.
1. Select System>Configuration>User Accounts from the hierarchical tree on the left side of
the web interface.
2. Using the User pulldown menu, select Create to create a new user.
