LOGGING IN THROUGH THE
W
EB-BASED NETWORK MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM
Introduction A Switch 7750 has a Web server built in. It enables you to log into a Switch 7750
through a Web browser and then manage and maintain the switch intuitively by
interacting with the built-in Web server.
To log into a Switch 7750 through the built-in Web-based network management
system, you need to perform the related configuration on both the switch and the
PC operating as the network management terminal.
Establishing an HTTP
Connection
1 Assign an IP address to VLAN-interface 1 of the switch (VLAN 1 is the default
VLAN of the switch). See “Telneting to a Switch from a Terminal” on page 62 for
related information.
2 Configure the user name and the password on the switch for the Web network
management user to log in.
# Create a Web user account, setting both the user name and the password to
“admin” and the user level to 3.
