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

Management or command line interface.

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.

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

statistics using a web browser.
