32 Section I: Basic Features
Starting a Web Browser Management Session
To establish a web browser management session with an AT-9400 Series
switch, there must be at least one switch in the subnet that has been
assigned an IP address and whose stacking status has been changed to
master switch. After you start a web browser management session on
the master switch, you can manage all the enhanced stacking switches
that reside in the same subnet.
If the subnet does not contain an enhanced stacking switch with an IP
address, then you must use the menus or the command line interface
(CLI) to give the switch an IP address and subnet mask. Then you can
connect to that switch and start a web browser management session.
Note
For background information on enhanced stacking, refer to Chapter
5, “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 not to 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.
