Getting Started
This section provides an introduction to the web-based configuration utility, and 
covers the following topics:
•Starting the Web-based Configuration Utility
•Quick Start Device Configuration
•Interface Naming Conventions
•Window Navigation
Starting the Web-based Configuration Utility
This section describes how to navigate the web-based switch configuration utility. 
If you are using a pop-up blocker, make sure it is disabled.
Browser Restrictions
If you are using IPv6 interfaces on your management station, use the IPv6 global 
address and not the IPv6 link local address to access the device from your 
browser.
Launching the Configuration Utility
To open the web-based configuration utility:
STEP 1Open a Web browser.
STEP  2Enter the IP address of the device you are configuring in the address bar on the 
browser, and then press Enter.

NOTEWhen the device is using the factory default IP address of 192.168.1.254, its power 
LED flashes continuously. When the device is using a DHCP assigned IP address or 
an administrator-configured static IP address, the power LED is on solid.
Logging In 
The default username is cisco and the default password is cisco. The first time 
that you log in with the default username and password, you are required to enter 
a new password.
NOTEIf you have not previously selected a language for the GUI, the language of the Login 
page is determined by the language(s) requested by your browser and the 
languages configured on your device. If your browser requests Chinese, for 
example, and Chinese has been loaded into your device, the Login page is 
automatically displayed in Chinese. If Chinese has not been loaded into your 
device, the Login page appears in English.
The languages loaded into the device have a language and country code (en-US, 
en-GB and so on). For the Login page to be automatically displayed in a particular 
language, based on the browser request, both the language and country code of 
the browser request must match those of the language loaded on the device. If the 
browser request contains only the language code without a country code (for 
example: fr). The first embedded language with a matching language code is 
taken (without matching the country code, for example: fr_CA).
To log in to the device configuration utility:
STEP 1Enter the username/password. The password can contain up to 64 ASCII 
characters. Password-complexity rules are described in the Setting Password 
Complexity Rules section of the Configuring Security chapter. 
STEP  2If you are not using English, select the desired language from the Language drop-
down menu. To add a new language to the device or update a current one, refer to 
the Upgrade/Backup Firmware/Language section.
STEP  3If this is the first time that you logged on with the default user ID (cisco) and the 
default password (cisco) or your password has expired, the Change Password 
Page appears. See Password Expiration for additional information.
STEP  4Choose whether to select Disable Password Complexity Enforcement or not. 
For more information on password complexity, see the Setting Password 
Complexity Rules section.
STEP  5Enter the new password and click Apply.

When the login attempt is successful, the Getting Started page appears.
If you entered an incorrect username or password, an error message appears and 
the Login page remains displayed on the window. If you are having problems 
logging in, please see the Launching the Configuration Utility section in the 
Administration Guide for additional information.
Select Dont show this page on startup to prevent the Getting Started page from 
being displayed each time that you log on to the system. If you select this option, 
the System Summary page is opened instead of the Getting Started page.
HT TP/HT TPS
You can either open an HTTP session (not secured) by clicking Log In, or you can 
open an HTTPS (secured) session, by clicking Secure Browsing (HTTPS). You are 
asked to approve the logon with a default RSA key, and an HTTPS session is 
opened.
NOTEThere is no need to input the username/password prior to clicking the Secure 
Browsing (HTTPS) button.
For information on how to configure HTTPS, see SSL Server.
Password Expiration
The New Password page appears:
•The first time you access the device with the default username cisco and 
password cisco. This page forces you to replace the factory default 
password.
•When the password expires, this page forces you to select a new 
password.
Logging Out 
By default, the application logs out after ten minutes of inactivity. You can change 
this default value as described in the Defining Idle Session Timeout section. 
!
CAUTIONUnless the Running Configuration is copied to the Startup Configuration, rebooting 
the device will remove all changes made since the last time the file was saved. 
Save the Running Configuration to the Startup Configuration before logging off to 
preserve any changes you made during this session. 
A flashing red X icon to the left of the Save application link indicates that Running

Configuration changes have not yet been saved to the Startup Configuration file. 
The flashing can be disabled by clicking on the Disable Save Icon Blinking button 
on the Copy/Save Configuration page
When the device auto-discovers a device, such as an IP phone (see What is a 
Smartport), and it configures the port appropriately for the device. These 
configuration commands are written to the Running Configuration file. This causes 
the Save icon to begin blinking when the you log on even though you did not make 
any configuration changes.
When you click Save, the Copy/Save Configuration page appears. Save the 
Running Configuration file by copying it to the Startup Configuration file. After this 
save, the red X icon and the Save application link are no longer displayed.
To  l o g o u t ,  c l i c k  Logout in the top right corner of any page. The system logs out of 
the device.
When a timeout occurs or you intentionally log out of the system, a message 
appears and the Login page appears, with a message indicating the logged-out 
state. After you log in, the application returns to the initial page. 
The initial page displayed depends on the “Do not show this page on startup” 
option in the Getting Started page. If you did not select this option, the initial page 
is the Getting Started page. If you did select this option, the initial page is the 
System Summar y page.
