Cisco Small Business 200 Series Smart Switch Administration Guide 7
Getting Started
This section provides an introduction to the web-based configuration utility, and
covers the following topics:
•Starting the Web-based Switch Configuration Utility
•Quick Start Switch Configuration
•Interface Naming Conventions
•Window Navigation
Starting the Web-based Switch Configuration Utility
This section describes how to navigate the web-based switch configuration utility.
If you are using a pop-up blocker, make sure it is disabled.
Browsers have the following restrictions:
•If you are using older versions of Internet Explorer, you cannot directly use
an IPv6 address to access the switch. You can, however, use the DNS
(Domain Name System) server to create a domain name that contains the
IPv6 address, and then use that domain name in the address bar in place of
the IPv6 address.
•If you have multiple IPv6 interfaces on your management station, use the
IPv6 global address instead of the IPv6 link local address to access the
switch from your browser.

Getting Started
Starting the Web-based Switch Configuration Utility
Cisco Small Business 200 Series Smart Switch Administration Guide 8

Launching the Configuration Utility
To open the web-based configuration utility:
STEP 1 Open a Web browser.
STEP 2 Enter the IP address of the switch you are configuring in the address bar on the
browser, and then press Enter. The
Login page opens.
NOTE When the switch is using the factory default IP address of 192.168.1.254, its power
LED flashes continuously. When the switch is using a DHCP assigned IP address or
an administrator-configured static IP address, the power LED is on solid.
Logging In
The default username is cisco and the default password is cisco. The first time
that you log in with the default username and password, you are required to enter
a new password.
NOTE If you have not previously selected a language for the GUI, the language of the Login
page is determined by the language(s) requested by your browser and the
languages configured on your switch. If your browser requests Chinese, for
example, and Chinese has been loaded into your switch, the Login page is
automatically displayed in Chinese. If Chinese has not been loaded into your
switch, the Login page is displayed in English.
The languages loaded into the switch have a language and country code (en-US,
en-GB and so on). For the Login page to be automatically displayed in a particular
language, based on the browser request, both the language and country code of
the browser request must match those of the language loaded on the switch. If the
browser request contains only the language code without a country code (for
example: fr). The first embedded language with a matching language code is
taken (without matching the country code, for example: fr_CA).
To log in to the device configuration utility:
STEP 1 Enter the username/password. The password can contain up to 64 ASCII
characters. Password-complexity rules are described in the Setting Password
Complexity Rules section of the Configuring Security chapter.
STEP 2 If you are not using English, select the desired language from the Language drop-
down menu. To add a new language to the switch or update a current one, refer to
the Upgrade/Backup Firmware/Language section.

STEP 3 If this is the first time that you logged on with the default user ID (cisco) and the
default password (cisco) or your password has expired, the
Change Password
Page opens. See Password Expiration for additional information.
STEP 4 Choose whether to select Disable Password Complexity Enforcement or not.
For more information on password complexity, see the Setting Password
Complexity Rules section.
STEP 5 Enter the new password and click Apply.
When the login attempt is successful, the Getting Started page opens.
If you entered an incorrect username or password, an error message is displayed
and the Login page remains displayed on the window.
Select Don’t show this page on startup to prevent the
Getting Started page from
being displayed each time that you log on to the system. If you select this option,
the System Summary page is opened instead of the Getting Started page.
HTTP/HTTPS
You can either open an HTTP session (not secured) by clicking Log In, or you can
open an HTTPS (secured) session, by clicking Secure Browsing (HTTPS). You are
asked to approve the logon with a default RSA key, and an HTTPS session is
opened.
For information on how to configure HTTPS, see SSL Server Authentication
Settings.
Password Expiration
The New Password page is displayed:
•The first time you access the switch with the default username cisco and
password cisco. This page forces you to replace the factory default
password.
•When the password expires, this page forces you to select a new
password.

Logging Out
By default, the application logs out after ten minutes of inactivity. You can change
this default value as described in the Defining Idle Session Timeout section in the
General Administrative Information and Operations chapter.
CAUTION Unless the Running Configuration is copied to the Startup Configuration, rebooting
the switch will remove all changes made since the last time the file was saved. Save
the Running Configuration to the Startup Configuration before logging off to
preserve any changes you made during this session.
A flashing red X icon to the left of the Save application link indicates that Running
Configuration changes have not yet been saved to the Startup Configuration file.
The flashing can be disabled by clicking on the Disable Save Icon Blinking button
on the Copy/Save Configuration page
When the switch auto-discovers a device, such as an IP phone (see Chapter 10,
“What is a Smartport”), and it configures the port appropriately for the device.
These configuration commands are written to the Running Configuration file. This
causes the Save icon to begin blinking when the you log on even though you did not
make any configuration changes.
When you click Save, the Copy/Save Configuration page is displayed. Save the
Running Configuration file by copying it to the Startup Configuration file. After this
save, the red X icon and the Save application link are no longer displayed.
To logout, click Logout in the top right corner of any page. The system logs out of
the switch.
When a timeout occurs or you intentionally log out of the system, a message is
displayed and the
Login page opens, with a message indicating the logged-out
state. After you log in, the application returns to the initial page.
The initial page displayed depends on the “Do not show this page on startup”
option in the Getting Started page. If you did not select this option, the initial page
is the Getting Started page. If you did select this option, the initial page is the
System Summary page.
