Introduction
Switch 4500 has a Web server built in. It enables you to log in to an Ethernet switch through a Web
browser and then manage and maintain the switch intuitively by interacting with the built-in Web server.
To log in to a Switch 4500 through the built-in Web-based network management system, you need to
perform the related configuration on both the switch and the PC operating as the network management
terminal.
Table 2-10
Requirements for logging in to a switch through the Web-based network management
system
Item
Requirement
The VLAN interface of the switch is assigned an IP address, and the route
between the switch and the Web network management terminal is reachable.
(Refer to the
IP Address Configuration – IP Performance Configuration
and
Routing Protocol
parts for related information.)
Switch
The user name and password for logging in to the Web-based network
management system are configured.
IE is available.
PC operating as
the network
management
terminal
The IP address of the VLAN interface of the switch, the user name, and the
password are available.
Establishing an HTTP Connection
1) Assign an IP address to VLAN-interface 1 of the switch (VLAN 1 is the default VLAN of the switch).
See
Telnetting to a Switch from a Terminal
for related information.
2) Configure the user name and the password on the switch for the Web network management user to
log in.
# Create a Web user account, setting both the user name and the password to
admin
and the user level
to 3.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] local-user admin
[Sysname-luser-admin] service-type telnet level 3
[Sysname-luser-admin] password simple admin
3) Establish an HTTP connection between your PC and the switch, as shown in
Figure 2-19
.

4) Log in to the switch through IE. Launch IE on the Web-based network management terminal (your
PC) and enter the IP address of the management VLAN interface of the switch in the address bar.
(Make sure the route between the Web-based network management terminal and the switch is
available.)
