Chapter 1: Starting a Web Browser Management Session
28 Section I: Basic Operations
Establishing a Remote Connection to Use the Web Browser Interface
To establish a web browser management session with an AT-9400 Series
switch, the switch must be part of an enhanced stack or it must have an IP
address and subnet mask. If the switch is part of an enhanced stack, such
as a slave switch, start the web browser management session on the
stack’s master switch. After you have started the session, you can access
and manage all of the switches in the stack from the master switch.
If the switch is not part of an enhanced stack and does not have an IP
address and you want to manage it with the web browser interface, you
must give it an IP address. This is initially assigned through a local
connection to the switch using the Terminal Port on the switch and either
the menus or the command line interface (CLI). After an IP address and
subnet mask are assigned, you can remotely connect to the switch and
start a web browser management session.
Note
For background information on enhanced stacking, refer to Chapter
4, “Enhanced Stacking,” in the AT-S63 Management Software
Menus Interface User’s Guide.
To start a web browser management session, perform the following
procedure:
1. Start your web browser.
Note
If your PC with the web browser is connected directly to the switch to
be managed or is on the same side of a firewall as the switch, you
must configure your browser’s network options not to use proxies.
Consult your web browser’s documentation on how to configure the
switch’s web browser to not use proxies.
2. In the URL field of the browser, enter the IP address of the switch you
want to manage or of the master switch of the enhanced stack.
