30CHAPTER 4: WORKING WITH THE WEB INTERFACE

Accessing the Web To access the Web interface over the network, complete the following

Interfacesteps:

1Ensure that your network is correctly set up for management using the Web interface and open your Web browser.

2In the Location field of the browser, enter the URL of the Server Load Balancer. This must be in the format:

http://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/

where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the IP address you assigned in “Assigning an IP Address” on page 24.

When the browser has located the Server Load Balancer, the Enter

Network Password window appears.

3Enter admin in the User Name field.

The Server Load Balancer provides two levels of access, admin and monitor. The password field contains a blank default login password. The two levels of access are:

admin — the user can access and change all manageable parameters

monitor — the user can view all manageable parameters, but cannot change any parameters

4The password field contains a blank default login password. Hit <Return>.

CAUTION: The Server Load Balancer does not provide a way to recover a lost password. If you choose to assign a new password, it is suggested you keep note of it in a safe place. If you forget your password, you will be locked out of the unit. If you change the password during the CLI Server Load Balancer setup, this is the password you should use, and not the blank default login password. For Technical Support, see Appendix C.

The main Web interface is displayed. See “Using the Web Interface” on page 31.

Exiting the Web You can exit the Web interface at any time; to do this, close your Web interface browser. For security reasons, you should always close your Web browser

after a management session.
