Planet WGSD-1022C [8/8] Start web management

5. Start Web Management

The Switch can be fully managed by console. It also provides a convenient Web

management interface for remote management. This chapter guides the quick

access to the Web Management Interface of the Switch.

Since Web Management Interface can be accessed by Ethernet connection, the

administrator workstation must be in the same IP segment as the Switch.

For example, if you do not change the default IP address of the Switch, say

192.168.0.100, you must set the IP address of your administrator workstation to

be 192.168.0.x (where x is a number between 1 and 254, except 100) with subnet

mask is 255.255.255.0.

Then use the Internet browser (Internet Explorer 5.0 or above), and go to

http://192.168.0.100. Enter the default username “admin” default password

“admin” for login, and the main screen as gure 5-1 appears.

Default IP Address: 192.168.0.100

Default Username and Password: admin

Note

The following screen based on WGSW-2840, for other Layer 2

Management Switch that mentioned in chapter 1, the display will
