First Login Through the Web System (NETCONF Mode)

Procedure

1. Connect a PC to the switch.

   When you log in to the device through the web system for the first time, do not connect the device through a console port. If you perform any operation through the console port, you cannot log in to the device through the web system for the first time.

   Connect the PC to the first Ethernet electrical interface of the switch using network cables. Press and hold down the MODE button for 6 seconds or longer. When all indicators on the device are steady green, the device enters the initial configuration mode, and the default IP address configured for Vlanif4094 of the device is 192.168.1.253/24.

   • If a switch has been configured when users press and hold down the MODE button for 6 seconds, all indicators blink green fast. In this case, the switch is restored to the normal state after 10 seconds, without affecting the existing configuration.
   • If a switch using factory settings has just started or has been configured through the serial interface when users press and hold down the MODE button for 6 seconds, the switch may fail to enter the initial configuration mode. When all indicators blink fast for 10s, the switch restores to the factory default state.
   • A switch automatically exits the initial configuration mode and restores factory settings if users have not saved the settings after one hour.

2. Configure an IP address for the PC.

   To ensure that the PC and switch are routable to each other, configure an IP address on the same network segment as the switch's IP address for the PC.

3. Log in to the switch through the web system.

   Open the web browser on the PC, enter https://192.168.1.253 in the address bar, and press Enter. The login page of the web system is displayed, as shown in Figure 4-4.

   First login to a switch through the web system requires that the browser on the PC be Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer 10.0, Internet Explorer 11.0, Firefox 61.0 to 66.0, and Google Chrome 64.0 to 73.0. If the browser version or browser patch version is not within the preceding ranges, the web page may not be properly displayed. Upgrade the browser and browser patch.

   When you log in to the web system for the first time, change the password to access the home page of the web system.
