These features are enabled on a browser by default. You will only need to enable them if you have changed your browser settings. Web Management To manage a switch using the Web interface over an IP network: Over the Network 1 Check that you have the correct IP information configured on your management workstation. You can check this by trying to browse the World Wide Web. If you can browse, the IP is installed. 2 Check that you can communicate with the switch by entering a ping command at the DOS prompt in the following format: c:\ ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the switch) If you get an error message, check that your IP information has been entered correctly and that the switch is powered up. 3 Open your Web browser and enter the switch's IP address in the URL locator, for example, in the following format: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 4 At the Username prompt, enter admin as your user name and press Return. At the password prompt press Return again. (or enter the password if you have modified the default passwords). 5 Click on the Device View button to display the web management options. Setting Up SNMP Management Any network management application running the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) can manage a switch if the management workstation is connected to the switch using a port on the management VLAN. By default, the management VLAN is 1, and all ports on the switch are in VLAN 1 You can use the 3Com Network Director, Device manager, EMC and the OV integration kit (available from 3Com's Web site) to provide SNMP management for your switch. 3Com Network Director, Device manager, EMS, and OV integration kit automatically loads the correct MIBs and necessary files onto your workstation. Prerequisites The default read community string is public. To change this setting, in System View, enter display snmp community.

Web Management
Over the Network
To manage a switch using the Web interface over an IP network:
1
Check that you have the correct IP information configured on your
management workstation. You can check this by trying to browse the
World Wide Web. If you can browse, the IP is installed.
2
Check that you can communicate with the switch by entering a
ping
command at the DOS prompt in the following format:
c:\ ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the switch)
If you get an error message, check that your IP information has been
entered correctly and that the switch is powered up.
3
Open your Web browser and enter the switch’s IP address in the URL
locator, for example, in the following format:
4
At the Username prompt, enter
admin
as your user name and press
Return
. At the password prompt press
Return
again. (or enter the
password if you have modified the default passwords).
5
Click on the
Device View
button to display the web management options.
Setting Up SNMP
Management
Any network management application running the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) can manage a switch if the management
workstation is connected to the switch using a port on the management
VLAN.
By default, the management
VLAN
is 1, and
all ports on the
switch are in VLAN 1
You can use the 3Com Network Director, Device manager, EMC and the
OV integration kit (available from 3Com’s Web site) to provide SNMP
management for your switch. 3Com Network Director, Device manager,
EMS, and OV integration kit automatically loads the correct MIBs and
necessary files onto your workstation.
