BLADE OS 5.1 BBI Guide

Frame-capable Web-browser software, such as the following:

Netscape Navigator 4.7x or higher

Internet Explorer 6.0x or higher

Mozilla FireFox 1.0.4 or higher

JavaScript enabled in your Web browser

Switch Set Up

Before you can access the BBI, minimal configuration is required on the G8000.

IP Interfaces

At least one IP interface must be configured on the switch. Each IP interface address provides a point of access for Blade OS switch management. The default management interface is 1, which allows access to Blade OS switch management.

For complete information about configuring IP interfaces, see your G8000 Installation Guide.

Enabling/Disabling BBI Access

By default, BBI access is enabled. If you need to disable or re-enable access, use the following command from the command-line interface:

RS G8000 (config)# [no] access http enable

For more information on the accessing and configuring the switch through the command-line interface, see your Command Reference.

Web Browser Set Up

Most modern Web browsers work with frames and JavaScript by default, and require no additional set up. However, you should check your Web browser’s features and configuration to make sure frames and JavaScript are enabled.

Note – JavaScript is not the same as Java. Please make sure that JavaScript is enabled in your Web browser.
