Using the HP Web Browser
Interface

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 sec tion, “Setting Fault Detection
Policy” on page 4-24. (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.
