Configuring for Web Access

To enable Web browser access to the switch:

1.Configure the switch for in-band connectivity. See Management IP Address on page 35.

2.Enable HTTP Web access to the switch with either the ip http server enable command or ip http secure-server enable (for details, see Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Commands on page 195).

Web Page Layout

An SFTOS Web UI panel consists of three frames.

Frame 1, across the top, displays a banner graphic of the switch.

Frame 2, at the bottom-left, displays a hierarchical tree view. The tree consists of a combination of folders, subfolders, and configuration and status HTML pages. You can think of the folders and subfolders as branches and the configuration and status HTML pages as leafs. Only the selection of a leaf (not a folder or subfolder) will cause Frame 2 to display a new HTML page. A folder or subfolder has no corresponding Frame 3 HTML page.

Frame 3, the bottom-right frame, displays the currently selected panel displaying either the device configuration status or the user configurable information that you have selected from the tree view of Frame 2, or both. You can resize each of these frames. There are no fixed-sized frames.

Also, if you enable the Java functionality, the frame displays the navigable switch graphic shown in Figure 6 on page 53.

Starting the Web User Interface

Note: You must configure the IP address of the switch before using the Web interface.

Follow these steps to bring up the switch Web UI:

1.Enter the IP address of the switch in the Web browser address field.

2.When the Login panel is displayed, enter the appropriate User Name and Pass- word. The User Name and associated password are the same ones used for the ter- minal interface. Click on the Login button. The navigation tree is displayed in Frame 2, and the System Description Menu is displayed in Frame 3.
