The switch includes a web-management interface, Enterprise Device Manager (EDM), that you can use to monitor and manage the device through a supported Web browser from anywhere on the network. For more information on supported web browsers, see Supported Browsers.
A security mechanism protects EDM and requires you to log on to the device using a user name and password. The default user name is admin and the default password is password.
Important
For security reasons, EDM is disabled by default.
By default, the minimum password length for the web server is 8 characters but you can override this value. For more information about how to enable and configure the web server, see Configure the Web Server or Configure the Web Management Interface.
The switch handles password encryption in the following manner:
After the device starts, the system restores the web-server passwords and community strings from the hidden file.
After you modify the web-server username and password or SNMP community strings, the system makes the modifications to the hidden file.
