Use a Web Browser to Access the Switch
and Log In
If this is the first time that you log in to the switch and you must use the default IP address of
the switch, see the information in the installation guide for your switch and in the M4200 and
M4300 Series ProSAFE Managed Switches Software Setup Manual.
You can use a web browser to access the switch and log in. You must be able to ping the IP
address of the management interface or out-of-band (OOB) port from your computer for web
access to be available.
The first time that you log in as an admin user to the local browser UI, no password is
required (that is, the password is blank).
As of software version 12.0.9.3, after you log in for
the first time, you are required to specify a local device password that you must use each
subsequent time that you log in.
Access the Switch Using a Static IP Address
To use a static IP address to access the switch over the local browser UI:
1. Prepare your computer with a static IP address:
• For access over an Ethernet network port, use a static IP address in the 169.254.0.0
subnet with subnet mask 255.255.0.0.
For example, use 169.254.100.201 for your computer.
• For access over the OOB port, use a static IP address in the 192.168.0.0 subnet with
subnet mask 255.255.0.0.
For example, use 192.168.0.201 for your computer.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from an Ethernet port on your computer to either an Ethernet
network port on the switch or to the OOB port on the switch.
3. Launch a web browser such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Internet
Explorer
.
4. Enter the default IP address of the switch in the web browser address field:
• For access over an Ethernet network port, enter 169.254.100.100.
