Access to the Web agent is controlled by the same user name and password as the onboard configuration program. 3-1 Web Interface 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. 3-2 Navigating the Web Browser Interface Configuration Options Configurable parameters have a dialog box or a drop-down list. Once a configuration change has been made on a page, be sure to click on the "Apply" button at the bottom of the page to confirm the new setting. The following table summarizes the Web page configuration buttons. Web Page Configuration Buttons Button Apply Revert Refresh Action Sets specified values in the SNMP agent.

Clicking on any other part of the front panel displays Switch Information as described on page 3-7. Port State Display Click on any port to display a summary or port status as shown below, as well as Etherlike statistics (page 3-39) and RMON statistics (page 3-40). Parameter Type Admin Status Link Status Speed Status Duplex Status Flow Control Status VLAN Description Shows port type as 1000BASE-SX Shows if the port is enabled, or has been disabled due to abnormal behavior or for security reasons. Flow control can eliminate frame loss by "blocking" traffic from end stations connected directly to the switch. Use the PVID (page 3-30) to assign ports to the same untagged VLAN. 3-4 Panel Display Configuring the Serial Port If you are having difficulties making an out-of-band console connection to the serial port on the switch, you can display or modify the current settings for the serial port through the Web agent.
