II-2 Starting the Web-based Configuration Utility
This section describes how to navigate the web-based switch configuration
utility through web browser. Be sure to disable any browser pop-up blocker.
Browser Restrictions
If you are using older versions of Internet Explorer, you cannot directly use
an IPv6 address to access the device. 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
device from your browser.
II-3 Launching the Configuration Utility
1. Make sure your computer is connected with the switch then open a web
browser.
2. Enter the IP address of the switch you are configuring in the address bar
on the browser (factory default IP address is 192.168.2.1) and then press
Enter. Please make sure that your computer's IP address is in the same
subnet as this switch. The default IP address is an IP address in the range
of 192.168.2.X (X=2-254). You can modify the IP address of your
computer if you need.
Default IP
192.168.2.1
Default User Name
admin
Default Password
1234

3. The default username is “admin”and the default password is “1234”.
