Use the Web Browser Interface

You can issue most of the AI2524 commands using a Web browser.
You access the Web Browser interface through the router's home page.
AI2524 routers loaded with the latest version of the Cisco IOS soft-
ware have a home page, which is password protected.
From the router's home page, click on the Monitor the Router hyper
text link. This link takes you to a Web page that has a Command field.
You can type commands in this field as if you were using the com
mand interpreter on a terminal connected to the router. The page also
displays a list of hypertext commands that can be executed with a
mouse-click. This feature is documented in Web Browser Interface.
Configuration Storage and Hot Swap
The AI2524 card must have its configuration stored on the AI198 card
to insure the ability to perform hot swap. The configuration is stored
in Menu 4.18 for the port associated with the AI2524 card. When the
AI2524 card boots, it uses the BOOTP protocol to obtain its IP ad-
dress. The AI2524 card then uses TFTP to tr ansfer its configuration in-
formation from the AI198 card to the AI2524 card. Any changes made
to the AI2524 card’s configuration must be stored back to the AI198
card to maintain full hot swap capability. Here are two options for
managing the AI2524 card configuration:

Always Modify the Configuration Using Menu 4.18

This option suggests that you use Menu 4.18 whenever you mak
modifications to the AI2524 card configuration. After you complete
the modifications, you can use the ENABL comm and to reset the
AI2524 card. This allows the changes to take affect.

Store the Configuration on the AI198 Card

This option suggests that whenever you make modifications to the
AI2524 card configuration using the AI2524 configuration mecha
nism (telnet to the card and change the configuration, Quick Start, Cis-
coWorks), you must store the modifications on the AI198 card. You
can save the configuration to the AI198 card using TFTP on the
AI2524 card.
