Setting Up Over the
Network
To manage a Switch using the web interface over an IP network:
1 You must set up the Switch with IP information. To do this:
a Access the web interface of the Switch through the console port. See
“Setting Up Through the Console Port” on page 33 .
b Use the Getting Started pages or IP Setup page to enter suitable IP
information for the Switch.
For more information about IP, see “Managing a Switch Over the
Network” on page 38 . For more information about the Getting
Started pages, see “The Getting Started Pages” on page 46 . For more
information about the IP Setup page, see “Setting Up IP Information”
on page 58 .

workstation. You can check this by trying to browse the World Wide
Web; if you can browse, an IP stack is installed.

port that is in VLAN 1 (the Default VLAN). By default, all ports on the
Switch are in VLAN 1. For more information about VLANs, see

LANs (VLANs)” on page 163 .
