Using the HP Web Browser Interface

Tasks for Your First HP Web Browser Interface Session

N o t e

Passwords you assign in the web browser interface will overwrite previous

 

passwords assigned in either the web browser interface, the Command

 

Prompt, or the switch console. That is, the most recently assigned passwords

 

are the switch’s passwords, regardless of which interface was used to assign

 

the string.

 

Using the Passwords

 

Figure 5-4. Example of the Password Window in the Web Browser Interface

The manager and operator passwords are used to control access to all switch interfaces. Once set, you will be prompted to supply the password every time you try to access the switch through any of its interfaces. The password you enter determines the capability you have during that session:

Entering the manager password gives you full read/write capabilities

Entering the operator password gives you read and limited write capabil­ ities.

Using the User Names

If you also set user names in the web browser interface screen, you must supply the correct user name for web browser interface access. If a user name has not been set, then leave the User Name field in the password window blank.

Note that the Command Prompt and switch console interfaces use only the password, and do not prompt you for the User Name.
