Explanations:
[1] The default IP address of the switch is 192.168.0.1. If you had changed the default IP address, then ping the new IP address.

[5] If HTTP function of the switch is disabled, the switch will not be accessible from the web browser. But you can still use the command line ip http server to enable HTTP and then access the switch using the browser again. For how to use the command line, please refer to the User Guide of the switch.
[6] Management VLAN is only supported on T1500 series switches;
[7] Check if the VLAN that your computer belongs to have a VLAN interface. For example, if your computer only belongs to VLAN 2, which does not have a VLAN interface, then you cannot visit the switch. If VLAN 2 has a VLAN interface with its own IP address, then you need to visit the switch using the IP address of VLAN interface 2.
