Navigating the Web Browser Interface
To access the Web-browser interface you must first enter a user name and
password. The administrator has Read/Write access to all configuration parameters
and statistics. The default user name for the administrator is “admin,” with the
password “switch.”
Home Page
When your Web browser connects with the switch’s Web agent, the home page is
displayed as shown below. The home page displays the Main Menu on the left side
of the screen and System Information on the right side. The Main Menu links are
used to navigate to other menus and display configuration parameters and statistical
data.
If this is your first time to access the management agent, you should define a new
Administrator password, record it and put it in a safe place. From the Main Menu,
select Security and enter a new password for the Administrator. Note that passwords
can consist of up to 11 alphanumeric characters and are not case sensitive.
Note: Based on the default configuration, a user is allowed three attempts to enter the
correct password; on the third failed attempt the current connection is terminated.
See “Console Login Configuration” on page 2-17.
