Using the Web Browser Interface
The web browser interface built into the switch lets you easily access the
switch from a browser-based PC on your network. This lets you do the
following:
■ Optimize your network uptime by using the Alert Log and other diagnostic
tools
■ Make configuration changes to the switch
■ Maintain security by configuring usernames and passwords
This chapter covers the following:
■ General features (page 4-2).
■ System requirements for using the web browser interface (page 4-3)
■ Starting a web browser interface session (page 4-4)
■ Tasks for your first web browser interface session (page 4-6):
• Creating usernames and passwords in the web browser interface
(page 4-7)
■ Description of the web browser interface:
• Overview window and tabs (page 4-11)
• Port Utilization and Status displays (page 4-12)
• Alert Log and Alert types (page 4-15)
Note If you want security beyond that achieved with user names and passwords,
you can disable access to the web browser interface. This is done by either
executing no web-management at the Command Prompt or changing the Web
Agent Enabled parameter setting to No (page 5-16) .
