Web Server and Network Topology
There are system topologies where the web server launched from a device’s Add-On Profile (AOP) could be for the wrong device.
For example: In this topology shown in the figure below the devices on the sub-networks have
duplicate IP addresses. With the workstation connected to the Switch1 sub-network and the AOP
target device of Device1, the web server launched from the AOP will be for Device1 (the
intended device). If the AOP target device is Device2, or DeviceN, the web server launched
from the AOP will be for Device1 (an unintended device).
After launching the web server verify that the web browser has reached the intended device by checking the information on the web page.
