Using the GUI to configure a switch
This section describes how to establish a connection to the switch through the
GUI, so you can configure the switch before installing it in your LAN.
1. Select a PC to browse to the switch from
You can browse to the switch from any PC that is running a supported
operating system with a supported browser installed. JavaScript must be
enabled. If you are using a toolbar or plug-in on your browser to block pop-
ups, disable it while using the GUI. The GUI displays detailed configuration
options and information in pop-up windows.
You need to know the PC’s subnet.
2. Connect the PC to the switch
Use an Ethernet cable to connect an Ethernet card on the PC to any one of
the switch ports.
Note You can browse to the router through any VLAN, as long as you give that
VLAN an IP address (see below). These instructions assume you will use vlan1.
The switch ports all belong to vlan1 by default.
3. Access the switch ’s command line interface
Access the CLI from the PC, as described in the previous “Using the CLI to
configure a switch” section.
