Accessing the SwitchOverview

Overview
You can access and manage the switch using the GUI (Graphical User Interface, also called
web interface in this text) or using the CLI (Command Line Interface). There are equivalent
functions in the web interface and the command line interface, while web configuration is
easier and more visual than the CLI configuration. You can choose the method according
to their available applications and preference.

Web Interface Access
You can access the switch’s web interface through the web-based authentication.
The switch uses two built-in web servers, HTTP server and HTTPS server, for user
authentication.
The following example shows how to login via the HTTP server.
2.1 Login
To manage your switch through a web browser in the host PC:
1) Make sure that the route between the host PC and the switch is available.
2) Launch a web browser. The supported web browsers include, but are not limited to, the
following types:
IE 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0
Firefox 26.0, 27.0
Chrome 32.0, 33.0
3) Enter the switch’s IP address in the web browser’s address bar. The switch’s default IP
address is 192.168.0.1.
Figure 2-1 Enter the switch's IP addresss in the browser
4) Enter the username and password in the pop-up login window. Use admin for both
username and password in lower case letters.
Figure 2-2 Login authentication
5) The typical web interface displays below. You can view the switch’s running status and
configure the switch on this interface.

2.2 Save Config Function
The switch’s configuration files fall into two types: the running configuration file and the
start-up configuration file.
After you perform configurations on the sub-interfaces and click Apply, the modifications
will be saved in the running configuration file. The configurations will be lost when the
switch reboots.
If you need to keep the configurations after the switch reboots, please use the Save
function on the main interface to save the configurations in the start-up configuration file.

2.3 Disable the Web Server
You can shut down the HTTP server or HTTPS server to block any access to the web
interface.
SECURITY > Access Security > HTTP Config, disable the HTTP server and click Apply.
Go to
Figure 2-5 Shut down HTTP server
Go to
SECURITY
> Access Security > HTTPS Config
, disable the HTTPS server and click
Apply.

2.4 Change the Switch's IP Address and Default Gateway
If you want to access the switch, you can configure the system IP address of the switch.
If you want the switch to accss a network, you can configure the default gateway of the
switch. Only the computers in the management VLAN can access the management
interface of the switch. By default, VLAN 1 owning all the ports is the management
VLAN and you can access the switch via any port. By default, the system IP address is
192.168.0.1, and the switch has no default gateway. The following example shows how to
change the system IP address and default gateway of the switch,
1) Go to
SYSTEM > System Info > System IP
. Specify the management VLAN ID. Specify
the IP address mode as Static. Enter the new IP address, subnet mask and default
gateway. Make sure that the route between the host PC and the switch’s new IP address
is available. Click Apply.
