This section provides an introduction to the web-based configuration utility, and
covers the following topics:
•Starting the Web-based Configuration Utility
•Quick Start Device Configuration
•Interface Naming Conventions

•Window Navigation
Starting the Web-based Configuration Utility
This section describes how to navigate the web-based switch configuration utility.
If you are using a pop-up blocker, make sure it is disabled.
Browser Restrictions
If you are using IPv6 interfaces on your management station, use the IPv6 global
address and not the IPv6 link local address to access the device from your
browser.
Launching the Configuration Utility
To open the web-based configuration utility:
STEP 1 Open a Web browser.
STEP 2 Enter the IP address of the device you are configuring in the address bar on the
browser, and then press Enter.
Cisco 300 Series Managed Switches Administration Guide10

Getting Started
Starting the Web-based Configuration Utility
NOTE When the device is using the factory default IP address of 192.168.1.254, its power
LED flashes continuously. When the device is using a DHCP-assigned IP address or
an administrator-configured static IP address, the power LED is on solid.
Logging In
The default username is cisco and the default password is cisco. The first time
that you log in with the default username and password, you are required to enter
a new password.
NOTE If you have not previously selected a language for the GUI, the language of the Login
page is determined by the language(s) requested by your browser and the
languages configured on your device. If your browser requests Chinese, for
example, and Chinese has been loaded into your device, the Login page is
automatically displayed in Chinese. If Chinese has not been loaded into your
device, the Login page appears in English.
The languages loaded into the device have a language and country code (en-US,
en-GB and so on). For the Login page to be automatically displayed in a particular
language, based on the browser request, both the language and country code of
the browser request must match those of the language loaded on the device. If the
browser request contains only the language code without a country code (for
example: fr). The first embedded language with a matching language code is
taken (without matching the country code, for example: fr_CA).
To log in to the device configuration utility:
STEP 1 Enter the username/password. The password can contain up to 64 ASCII
characters. Password-complexity rules are described in Setting Password
Complexity Rules.
STEP 2 If you are not using English, select the desired language from the Language drop-
down menu. To add a new language to the device or update a current one, see
Upgrade/Backup Firmware/Language.
STEP 3 If this is the first time that you logged on with the default user ID (cisco) and the
default password (cisco) or your password has expired, the Change Password
Page appears. See Password Expiration for additional information.
STEP 4 Choose whether to select Disable Password Complexity Enforcement or not.
For more information on password complexity, see the Setting Password
Complexity Rules section.
STEP 5 Enter the new password and click Apply.

Getting Started
!
Starting the Web-based Configuration Utility
When the login attempt is successful, the Getting Started page appears.
If you entered an incorrect username or password, an error message appears and
the Login page remains displayed on the window. If you are having problems
logging in, please see the Launching the Configuration Utility section in the
Administration Guide for additional information.
Select Don't show this page on startup to prevent the Getting Started page from
being displayed each time that you log on to the system. If you select this option,
the System Summary page is opened instead of the Getting Started page.
HTTP/HTTPS
You can either open an HTTP session (not secured) by clicking Log In, or you can
open an HTTPS (secured) session, by clicking Secure Browsing (HTTPS). You are
asked to approve the logon with a default RSA key, and an HTTPS session is
opened.
1
NOTE There is no need to input the username/password prior to clicking the Secure
Browsing (HTTPS) button.
For information on how to configure HTTPS, see SSL Server.
Password Expiration
The New Password page is displayed in the following cases:
•The first time that you access the device with the default username cisco
and password cisco. This page forces you to replace the factory default
password.
•When the password expires, this page forces you to select a new
password.
Logging Out
By default, the application logs out after ten minutes of inactivity. You can change
this default value as described in the Defining Idle Session Timeout section.
CAUTION Unless the Running Configuration is copied to the Startup Configuration, rebooting
the device removes all changes made since the last time the file was saved. Save
the Running Configuration to the Startup Configuration before logging off to
preserve any changes you made during this session.
A flashing red X icon to the left of the Save application link indicates that Running

Configuration changes have not yet been saved to the Startup Configuration file.
The flashing can be disabled by clicking on the Disable Save Icon Blinking button
on the Copy/Save Configuration page
When the device auto-discovers a device, such as an IP phone (see What is a
Smartport), and it configures the port appropriately for the device. These
configuration commands are written to the Running Configuration file. This causes
the Save icon to begin blinking when the you log on, even though you did not make
any configuration changes.
When you click Save, the Copy/Save Configuration page appears. Save the
Running Configuration file by copying it to the Startup Configuration file. After this
save, the red X icon and the Save application link are no longer displayed.
To l o g o u t , c li ck Logout in the top right corner of any page. The system logs out of
the device.
When a timeout occurs or you intentionally log out of the system, a message is
displayed and the Login page appears, with a message indicating the logged-out
state. After you log in, the application returns to the initial page.
The initial page displayed depends on the “Do not show this page on startup”
option in the Getting Started page. If you did not select this option, the initial page
is the Getting Started page. If you did select this option, the initial page is the
System Summary page.

TCAM Utilization
TCAM Utilization
The device architecture uses a Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM) to
support packet actions in wire speed.
TCAM holds the rules produced by applications, such as ACLs (Access Control
Lists), Quality of Service (QoS), IP Routing and user-created rules.
Some applications allocate rules upon their initiation. Additionally, processes that
initialize during system boot use some of their rules during the startup process.
To view TCAM utilization, click Status and Statistics > TCAM Utilization.
The TCAM Utilization page shows the following fields:
2
•Maximum TCAM Entries for IPv4 and Non-IP—Maximum TCAM entries
available.

•IPv4 Routing
-In Use—Number of TCAM entries used for IPv4 routing.

routing.
•Non-IP Rules
-In Use—Number of TCAM entries used for non-IP rules.
-Maximum—Number of available TCAM entries that can be used for non-
