Chapter 5: Using the Web-based Utility for Configuration
Overview
This chapter describes the features included in the Web-based Utility. All of the features shown in this chapter,
unless specifically identified, are included in the all of Fast Ethernet switches. Additional features for specific
switches are noted.
Accessing the Web-based Utility
Open your web browser and enter 192.168.1.254 into the Address field. Press the Enter key and the login
screen will appear.
The first time you open the Web-based Utility, enter admin in the User Name field, and leave the Password field
blank. Click the OK button. You can set a password later from the System Password screen.
The first screen that appears is the Setup Summary screen. Twelve main tabs are accessible from the Web-based
Utility: Setup, Port Management, VLAN Management, Statistics, ACL, Security, QoS (Quality of Service), Spanning
Tree, Multicast, SNMP, Admin, and Logout. Click one of the main tabs to view additional tabs.
The LEDs
on the Setup Summary screen display status information about their corresponding ports. A green LED indicates
a connection, while a grey LED indicates no connection. An orange LED indicates the port has been closed down
by the administrator. When you click a port’s LED, the statistics for that port are displayed.
