Trouble with http login for PowerConnect 3348
Hi,
I apologize for the first two messages, The tab key on my laptop got a bit stuck, and submitted my orignal message twice without me writing much.
Nevertheless, I am having difficulty logging in via http to our PowerConnect 3348. Using both the included CD documentation and the documentation on Dell's website, I was able to assign a static IP to VLAN 1 and also assign a gateway. After plugging the switch into our network, I was able to successfully ping it. However, when I tried to log in via a web browser, I was not able to authenticate. I used blank/blank, admin/admin, guest/guest, admin/user, etc. I followed the directions for setting up http and user access from both the CD and the web docs. However, they are a bit hard to follow.
What I want to do is clear the flash of all settings and start anew. I know how to assign an IP address, so I am all set there. I just need some help setting up console and web access, and setting up an admin account to access the switch from both the web and console. I was assuming this switch would be similar to the 2 3048s we have so far, but was quite surprised (though I am eager to learn how to configure it).
Thanks!

We deleted the previous threads so that there would be no duplicates.
The problem you were having trying to telnet and use the web UI is a pretty common one. The 3300 switches are more security-centered, so they come from the factory fairly well locked down. The problem is that the default authentication method for network access (telnet and web) is the local database. By default, there is no administrator account in the local database.
To manage the switch via the network, you must perform two steps:
Once these steps are complete, you should be able to telnet and use the web UI to configure the switch.

I hope this isn't a duplicate. I posted this issue several hours ago and don't see it on the board.
Same problem here - I added a user/password with level 15 access. I can log into the web interface with the new username and the password field blank ! The documentation isn't much help.
How can I set up http access with a password required ? RADIUS and access list requirements are not an option for me.
Thanks,
