To access CMS, follow these steps:
Step 1 Enter the switch IP address and your privilege level in the browser Location field (Netscape
Commu nicator ) or Address field (M icrosof t Internet Explore r). For example:
http://10.1.126.45:184/level/14/
where 10.1.126.45 is the switch IP address, 184 is the HTTP port, and level/14 is the privilege level.
You do not ne ed to ente r the HTTP por t if the swi tch is usin g HTTP port 80 (the defau lt) or ente r the
privilege level if you have read-write access to the switch (privilege level is 15). For information about
the HTTP port, see the “HTTP Access to CMS” section on page 3-32. For information about privilege
levels, see the “Access M odes in C MS” section on pa ge 3-31.

Access Mo des in CMS
CMS pro vides tw o le v e ls of acce ss to the co nf igurat ion options: read-wr ite ac cess and read -only ac cess.
Privilege levels 0 to 15 ar e suppor ted.
•Privilege level 15 provides you with read-write access to CMS.
•Privilege levels 1 to 14 provide you with read-only access to CMS. Any options in the CMS
windows, m enu b ar, toolba r, and popu p m enus that ch ange t he s wit ch o r cl uste r co nfigur ati on are
not shown in read-on ly mode.
•Privilege level 0 denies access to CMS.
If you do not incl ude a privilege level when you access CM S, the switch verifies if you have
privilege-level 15. If you do not, you ar e denied ac cess to CMS. If you do have privilege-level 15, you
are granted read-write access. Therefore, you do not need to include the privilege level if it is 15.
Entering zero denies access to CMS. For more information about privilege levels, see the “Preventing
Unauthorized Access to Your Switch” sectio n o n pag e 7-1.
