If you use Netscape 4.xx, enable JavaScript in the Advanced Preferences list. If you use
Explorer 4.xx, JavaScript is enabled by default.
2Enter the IP address of the switch in the Location field if you are using Netscape (the
Address field if you are using Internet Explorer), and press Return. The Basic System
Configuration page appears.
The switch is designed to operate with little or no user intervention. In most cases, you can use
it with its default settings as soon as you assign it an IP address. You can also use the web
console to change the switch configuration and monitor network conditions and statistics.
Note: The Catalyst 1900 Series Installation and Configuration Guide provides complete
information about the web console and describes how to configure the switch.
