xStack DGS/DXS-3300 Series Layer 3 Stackable Gigabit Ethernet Switch User Manual Section 5 Introduction to Web-based Switch Configuration Introduction Logging on to the Web Manager Web-Based User Interface Basic Setup Reboot Basic Switch Setup Network Management Switch Utilities Network Monitoring IGMP Snooping Status Introduction All software functions of the xStack DGS/DXS-3300 Switch Series can be managed, configured and monitored via the embedded web-based (HTML) interface. The Switch can be managed from remote stations anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as Netscape Navigator/Communicator, Mozilla or Microsoft Internet Explorer. The browser acts as a universal access tool and can communicate directly with the Switch using the HTTP protocol. The Web-based management module and the Console program (and Telnet) are different ways to access the same internal switching software and configure it. Thus, all settings encountered in web-based management are the same as those found in the console program. Logging on to the Web Manager To begin managing the Switch, simply run the browser installed on your computer and point it to the IP address you have defined for the device. The URL in the address bar should read something like: http://123.123.123.123, where the numbers 123 represent the IP address of the Switch. NOTE: The Factory default IP address for the Switch is 10.90.90.90. In the page that opens, click on the Login button: Figure 5- 1.
