RackSwitch G8000 Application Guide

Using the Browser-Based Interface

The Browser-Based Interface (BBI) is a Web-based management interface for interactive switch access through your Web browser.

The BBI provides access to the common configuration, management and operation features of the switch through your Web browser. For more information, refer to the RackSwitch G8000 BBI Quick Guide.

Configuring BBI access via HTTP

By default, BBI access via HTTP is enabled. Use the following command to disable/enable BBI access on the switch via HTTP:

RS G8000 (config)# access http enable

The default HTTP web server port to access the BBI is port 80. However, you can change the default Web server port with the following command:

RS G8000 (config)# access http port <TCP port number>

For workstation access to your switch via the BBI, open a Web browser window and type in the URL using the IP interface address of the switch, such as:

http://10.10.10.1

Configuring BBI access via HTTPS

The BBI can be accessed via a secure HTTPS connection over management and data ports. By default, BBI access via HTTPS is enabled.

To enable BBI Access on the switch via HTTPS, use the following command:

RS G8000 (config)# access https enable

To change the HTTPS Web server port number from the default port 443, use the following command:

RS G8000 (config)# access https port <TCP port number>
