3 Getting Started

This chapter introduces the management interface of D-Link Metro Ethernet Switch.

Management Options

The D-Link Metro Ethernet Switch can be managed through any port on the device by using the Web-based

Management.

Each switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with the Web-Based

Management or a SNMP network manager. The PC should have an IP address in the same range as the

switch. Each switch can allow up to four users to access the Web-Based Management concurrently.

Please refer to the following installation instructions for the Web-based Management.

Using Web-based Management

After a successful physical installation, you can configure the Switch, monitor the network status, and display

statistics using a web browser.

Supported Web Browsers

The embedded Web-based Management currently supports the following web browsers:

Internet Explorer 7 or later version

Mozilla

Firefox 2 or later version

Chrome 5.0 or later version

Safari 4.0 or later version

Connecting to the Switch

You will need the following equipment to begin the web configuration of your device:

1. A PC with a RJ-45 Ethernet connection

2. A standard Ethernet cable

Connect the Ethernet cable to any of the ports on the front panel of the switch and to the Ethernet port on the

PC.

Figure 3.1 – Connected Ethernet cable

In order to log in and configure the switch via an Ethernet connection, the PC must have an IP address in the

same subnet as the switch. For example, if the switch has an IP address of 10.90.90.90, the PC should have

an IP address of 10.x.y.z (where x/y is a number between 0 ~ 254 and z is a number between 1 ~ 254), and

a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. Enter 10.90.90.90 (the factory default IP address) in the address bar of your

web browser and press <Enter>.
