With web-based management, you can configure the PowerConnect 5224 Gigabit Ethernet Managed Switch and monitor the system using a web browser.
Most pages for the switch include the following buttons:
Refresh — Displays the current values for the system related to the page that is open.
l
Apply Changes — Makes changes to the system and refreshes the page.
l
NOTICE:
For configuration changes to persist beyond the current session, you must either save the running-config file from the Switch/Configuration
page or use the command line interface (CLI) command copy running-config startup-config.
Web Pages
When you connect to the management mode of the switch with a web browser, a login screen is displayed. Enter a user name and password to access the
switch's management mode.
NOTE:
The default user names are admin and guest, and the corresponding passwords are admin and guest. If you log in as guest (Normal Exec level),
you can only view page information and change the guest password. If you log in as admin (Privileged Exec level), you can apply changes on all pages.
