To display the Web UI, launch a Web browser on a computer with the capability of accessing the switch.

connection using the https:// protocol.

2. Enter the User ID admin , and Password superuser . Both are case-sensitive. Click the Login button.

NOTE: Ensure you have HTTP connectivity to the switch, as HTTP is a required to launch
the switch Web UI from a browser.
NOTE: If using HTTP to login into the switch, you may encounter a Warning screen if a
self-signed certificate has not been created and implemented for the switch. This warning
screen will continue to display on future login attempts until a self-signed certificate is
implemented. Motorola recommends only using the default certificate for the first few
login attempts until a self-signed certificate can be generated.
NOTE: If your password is lost, there is a means to access the switch, but you are forced
to revert the switch back to its factory default settings and lose your existing
configuration (unless saved to a secure location). Consequently, Motorola recommends
keeping the password in a secure location so it can be retrieved. For information on
password recovery, see Switch Password Recovery on page 2-3.
