xStack® DGS-3400 Series Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet Managed Switch Web-based Switch Configuration Introduction Logging in to the Web Manager Web-based User Interface Web Pages Section 1 Introduction All software functions of the xStack® DGS-3400 switch series can be managed, configured and monitored via the embedded webbased (HTML) interface. Manage the Switch from remote stations anywhere on the network through a standard browser. 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 in 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 is 10.90.90.90. This opens the management module's user authentication dialog box, as seen below. Figure 1 - 1 Enter Network Password dialog box 1
