Configuring the GigaSwitch

The Linksys EtherFast II 10/100 24-Port Managed GigaSwitch features a
menu-driven console interface for switch configuration. The GigaSwitch can
be configured locally through the serial port or remotely via a Telnet connec-
tion.

This User Guide provides instructions on how to configure and manage the
GigaSwitch using the console interface. If you wish to manage the switch
through a web connection, you can do so by connecting to the GigaSwitch’s
IP Address using your web browser.

Although the web-based management menu will differ in appearance from
the console-based management menu, you will still have access to all the
same configuration and management features.

When logging on to the GigaSwitch, you will receive the following screen
prompt:
