CHAPTER 3 Management
Overview
The switch utilizes both a Web Manager interface and a Command Line Interface (CLI)
to manage the switch. You can change the switch’s device identification, upgrade
firmware, configure switch settings and policies, define severity levels for event
messages, and configure zoning.
Using the Web Manager
The Web Manager enables you to manage and monitor a switch from any network-
connected computer. (Supported browsers are Netscape Navigator 4.7 or higher and
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher. The browser needs to be Javascript-enabled.)
With the Web Manager, you have the added benefits of easy navigation, simultaneous
configuration of multiple ports, and named—rather than enumerated values within
complex tables.
Connecting to the Web Manager
For a workstation to connect to the Web Manager, it must have access to the network
on which the switch is connected.
If you need to verify the switch’s IP address, log into the switch’s command line interface
through a serial link (see “Connecting to the CLI” on page 36).
To connect to the Web Manager:
1. Make sure the switch is connected to your network.
2. On a network-connected computer, open a web browser (such as Netscape
Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer); in the URL text box, enter the switch’s
address (DNS name or IP Address).
