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.

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 transfer 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 command 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.
