Chapter 4 Using the Web User Interface

This chapter covers the following topics:

•Configuring for Web Access on page 52

•Web Page Layout on page 52

•Starting the Web User Interface on page 52

•Command Buttons on page 53

This chapter is a brief introduction to the SFTOS Web User Interface (Web UI), enabling you to manage your switch through a Web browser and Internet connection. To access the switch, the Web browser must support:

•HTML version 4.0 or later

•HTTP version 1.1 or later

•JavaScript(TM) version 1.2 or later

This chapter explains how to set up the switch for the Web UI, accessing the Web UI, and a brief introduction to the organization of the Web UI.

For details, see the Getting Started and Web User Interface chapters in the SFTOS Configuration Guide, along with sample Web UI screenshots in the other chapters of that book. Also, some command syntax statements in this book are followed by a field called Web User Interface that displays the equivalent panel in the Web UI.

It is important to note that there are equivalent functions in the Web UI to the terminal interface (that is, there are usually the same menus to accomplish a task). For example, when you log in, there is a Main Menu with the same functions available, and so on. To terminate the Web login session, close the browser.

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