Configuration Guide Overview
1 Overview
eWeb is a Web-based management system that manages or configures devices. You can access eWeb via browsers such
as Google Chrome.
Web-based management involves the Web server and Web client. The Web server is integrated in a device, and is used to
receive and process requests from the client, and return processing results to the client. The Web client usually refers to a
browser, such as Google Chrome, IE, or Firefox.
1.1 Conventions
In this document:
Texts in bold are names of buttons (for example, Save) or other graphical user interface (GUI) elements (for example,
VLAN).
Devices of different models have slightly different functions. This document uses RG-ES218GC-P as an example for
description.
Only RG-ES226GC-P, RG-ES218GC-P, RG-ES209GC-P, RG-ES209C-P, RG-ES205GC-P, and RG-ES205C-P
support the PoE function and configuration.
Only RG-ES226GC-P, RG-ES218GC-P, RG-ES224GC, and RG-ES216GC support the multi-DHCP alarm function.
The device initially adopts an English OS by default. After it is accessed, the device language can be set to the
language used by the current browser. A manually set device language has a higher priority than the language of the
browser.
The cloud status and online upgrade are not supported in the English OS.

device to process basic HTTP protocol requests.
Deployment
Configuration Environment Requirements
Client requirements:
An administrator can log into the eWeb management system from a Web browser to manage the device. The client
refers to a PC or some other mobile endpoints such as laptops or tablets.
Google Chrome, Firefox, IE9.0 and later versions, and some Chromium-based browsers (such as 360 Extreme
Explorer) are supported. Exceptions such as garble or format error may occur if an unsupported browser is used.
1024 x 768 or a higher resolution is recommended. If other resolutions are used, the page fonts and formats may not be
aligned, the GUI is less artistic, or other exceptions may occur.
Ensure that the client IP address is set to be in the same network segment as the device management address. Then
you can open the browser and enter the device management address to configure the device. When you use the
reserved management address 10.44.77.200 of the device, ensure that the client is directly connected to the switch.
To log into the eWeb management system, open Google Chrome, enter 10.44.77.200 in the address bar, and press Enter,
as shown in the figure below.
