Using the HP Web Browser Interface

Tasks for Your First HP Web Browser Interface Session

This window is the launching point for the basic configuration you need to perform to set web browser interface passwords to maintain security and Fault Detection policy, which determines the types of messages that will be displayed in the Alert Log.

To set web browser interface passwords, click on secure access to the device to display the Device Passwords screen, and then go to the next page. (You can also access the password screen by clicking on the Security tab.)

To set Fault Detection policy, click on select the fault detection configuration in the second bullet in the window and go to the section, “Setting Fault Detection Policy” on page 5-23.(You can also access the password screen by clicking on the Configuration tab, and then [Fault Detection] button.)

Creating Usernames and Passwords in the Browser

Interface

You may want to create both a username and password to create access security for your switch. There are two levels of access to the interface that can be controlled by setting user names and passwords:

Operator. An Operator-level user name and password allows read-only access to most of the web browser interface, but prevents access to the Security window.

Manager. A Manager-level user name and password allows full read/ write access to the web browser interface.
