• Using a network management station running PCM+ on your network
Using a standalone web browser from a PC or UNIX workstation
This procedure assumes that you are using a compatible web browser and that the switch is
configured with an IP address accessible from your PC or workstation. (For more on assigning an
IP address, See “IP configuration” (page 102).)
1. Ensure that the Java™applets are enabled for your browser. For more information on this
topic, See your browser’s online Help.
2. Use the web browser to access the switch. If your network includes a Domain Name Server
(DNS), your switch’s IP address may have a name associated with it (e.g., switch8212) that
you can type in the URL field instead of the IP address. Using DNS names typically improves
browser performance. Contact your network administrator to enquire about DNS names
associated with your HP switch.
Type the IP address (or DNS name) of the switch in the browser’s URL field and press [Enter].
(It is not necessary to include http://.)
