24 Port Stackable Managed Switch – User Guide Page 45
Web Based Management
Inside the Switch exists an embedded web server that allows administrators to manage the
Switch remotely. The Web Based management is a graphical interface, which some users
may find easier and more intuitive than other management methods.
The Web-Based Management supports Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 and above (plus other
web browsers). It is based on Java Applets with an aim to reduce network bandwidth
consumption, enhance access speed and present an easy viewing screen.
Configuring The Switch for Web Based Management
The Switch has the following default values that need to be adjusted to suit your network:
IP Address: 10.10.10.10
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 10.10.10.254
User Name: root
Password: root
1. Obtain the correct local IP addresses from your network administrator and enter the
values from the console menu as detailed on page 17. This IP information has to be
entered via the console, as the web interface will not be accessible until the local IP
address values have been entered, saved and the Switch restarted.
2. After the Switch has been restarted with the new IP address, check that the Switch is
visible on the network by ‘pinging’ the address. If the Switch is present and correctly
configured, then the ‘ping’ will echo back a response message otherwise the message
“Request Timeout” will be displayed. Ensure that the Switch can be ‘pinged’ before
proceeding. Consult your system administrator for details of ‘pinging’. The syntax from
your PC is:
Start >Run> ping 162.109.37.13 –t
Where the 162.109.37.13 is the example IP address allocated to the Switch
The –t causes the ping test to run continuously.
3. After the ‘ping’ test has passed, open a web browser window (such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer) and enter the allocated IP address of the Switch into the URL field. For
example:
http://162.109.37.13
If all the settings are correct, then the browser will display a user name and password
box similar to the one below:
