Using the Web Interface

This chapter is a brief introduction to the Web interface — it explains how to access the Web- based management panels to configure and manage the system.

Tip: Use the Web interface for configuration instead of the CLI interface. Web configuration is quicker and easier than entering multiple required CLI commands.

You can manage your switch through a Web browser and Internet connection. This is referred to as Web-based management. To use Web-based management, the system must be set up for in-band connectivity.

To access the switch, the Web browser must support:

•HTML version 4.0, or later

•HTTP version 1.1, or later

•JavaScriptTM version 1.2, or later

•JavaTM Runtime Plug-in 1.50-06 or later

There are equivalent functions in the Web interface and the terminal interface — both applications usually employ the same menus to accomplish a task. For example, when you log in, there is a Main Menu with the same functions available, etc.

There are several differences between the Web and terminal interfaces. For example, on the Web interface the entire forwarding database can be displayed, while the terminal interface only displays 10 entries starting at specified addresses.

To terminate the Web interface session, click the Logout button.

Configuring for Web Access

To enable Web access to the switch:

1.Configure the switch for in-band connectivity. The Getting Started section of this docu- ment gives instructions for doing this.

2.Enable Web mode:

A.At the CLI prompt, enter the show network command.

B.Set Web Mode to Enabled.
