Using the ProCurve Web Browser Interface
Overview
This switch provides an embedded HTTP Web agent. Using a Web browser you can configure the switch and view statistics to monitor network activity. The Web agent can be accessed by any computer on the network using a standard Web browser (Internet Explorer 5.5 or above).
Prior to accessing the switch from a Web browser, be sure you have first performed the following tasks:
1.Configure the switch with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. (Defaults: IP address 192.168.2.10; Subnet mask 255.255.255.0; Gateway 0.0.0.0)
2.Set a new password using the Web interface (the default is no password). Access to the Web interface is controlled by the password.
N o t e |
If you cannot remember the switch’s IP address, you can restore the original |
|
settings by following the procedure described in the “Troubleshooting” |
|
section. |
|
|
|
|
N o t e |
If the Web Browser Interface is inactive for more than 300 seconds, the Web |
|
Browser logs out the administrator and returns to the Login page. |
|
Navigating the Web Browser Interface |
|
|
|
Home Page |
|
When your Web browser connects with the switch’s Web agent, the home page |
|
is displayed as shown below. The home page displays the Main Menu on the |
|
left side of the screen, System Information on the right side, and Device Image |
|
on the top bar. The Main Menu links are used to navigate to other menus, and |
|
display configuration parameters and statistics. |

To ensure proper screen refresh, be sure that Internet Explorer is configured |
|
as follows: Under the menu “Tools / Internet Options / General / Temporary |
|
Internet Files / Settings,” the setting for item “Check for newer versions of |
|
stored pages” should be “Every visit to the page.” |
|
Panel Display |
|
|
|
The Web agent displays an image of the switch’s ports. The port will turn green |
|
when the corresponding front-panel port is in connection with another device. |
|
To show the port number, place mouse pointer onto the intended port. |
Main Menu
Using the onboard Web agent, you can define system parameters, manage and control the switch, and all its ports, or monitor network conditions. The following table briefly describes the selections available from the Webbrowser interface.

•System Contact – Contact information assigned to the switch.
•Number of Ports – Number of built-in ports.
•Hardware Version – Hardware version of the main board.
•Software Version – Version number of the code.
•Serial Number – The serial number of the switch.
Address Information
•Management VLAN – ID of a configured VLAN. By default, all ports on the switch are members of VLAN 1. However, the management station can be attached to a port belonging to any VLAN, as long as that VLAN has been assigned an IP address.
•IP Address – Address of the VLAN to which the management station is attached. (Note that the management station must always be in the Management VLAN.)
•Subnet Mask – This mask identifies the host address bits used for routing to specific subnets. (Default: 255.255.255.0)
•Gateway IP Address – IP address of the gateway router between the switch and management stations that exist on other network segments. (Default: 0.0.0.0)
•MAC Address – The physical layer address of the switch.
Port Information

Setting the Switch’s IP Address
This section describes how to configure an IP interface for management access over the network. The IP address for this switch is 192.168.2.10 by default. To manually configure an address, make sure the DHCP Enabled box is unchecked, then change the switch’s default settings (IP address 192.168.2.10 and netmask 255.255.255.0) to values that are compatible with your network. You may also need to establish a default gateway between the switch and management stations that exist on another network segment.
Field Attributes
•DHCP Enabled – Enable or disable DHCP. If enabled, the IP address will be acquired from a DHCP server. If disabled, the IP address must be manually set by the user. (Default: Disabled)
•Switch IP Address – Address of the IP interface that is allowed management access. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. (Default: 192.168.2.10)
