Introduction
The content of this user’s guide pertains to intelligent (management) Hub models only.
An embedded web-based (hypertext) interface allows users to manage the switch from
anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as Netscape
Navigator/Communicator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. The web-browser acts as a
universal access tool and can communicate directly, with the Hub, using HTTP protocol.
getting started
The first step in getting started in using web-based management for your Hub, is to
secure a web-browser. A web-browser is a program which allows a person to read
hypertext. Follow the installation instructions for the browser.

The second and last step is to configure the IP interface, of the Hub, through console
management. See the In-Band Setup Instructions on page 39 to do this.
