To enable style sheets in Netscape Navigator 4.76 on Solaris 2.6, open
Netscape Navigator and select Edit > Preferences > Fonts. Select the Use
document-specified fonts, including Dynamic Fonts radio button. You
should also set the font sizes as follows:
■ Variable Width Font - Size 10.0
■ Fixed Width Font - Size 12.0
This ensures that the text spacing is correct. Finally in the Advanced
category ensure that Enable Java Script and Enable style sheets are
checked.
Web Management
Over the Network
To manage a Switch using the web interface over an IP network:
1 Check that you have the IP protocol correctly installed on your
management workstation. You can check this by trying to browse the
World Wide Web. If you can browse, the IP protocol is installed.
2 Check you can communicate with the Switch by entering a ping
command at the DOS prompt in the following format:
c:\ ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the Switch)
If you get an error message, check that your IP information has been
entered correctly and the Switch is powered up.
3 Open your web browser and enter the IP address of the Switch that you
wish to manage in the URL locator, for example, in the following format:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
4 At the login and password prompts, enter admin as your user name and
press Return at the password prompt (or the password of your choice if
you have already modified the default passwords).
5 Click on the Device View button to display the web management options.
