Using the Browser-Based Interface

Use the management module to access the GbE Switch Module through a Web session. Choose I/O Module Tasks > Configuration from the navigation pane on the left. Select a bay number and click Advanced Configuration > Start Telnet/Web Session > Start Web Session. A browser window opens a connection to the Switch Module.

The Browser-based Interface (BBI) provides access to the common configuration, manage- ment and operation features of the GbE Switch Module through your Web browser. For more information, refer to the BBI Quick Guide.

By default, BBI access is enabled on the switch (/cfg/sys/access/http ena).

Configuring BBI Access via HTTP

To enable BBI access on the switch via HTTP, use the following command:

/cfg/sys/access/http ena

The management module requires the default HTTP web server port (port 80) to access the BBI. However, you can change the default Web server port with the following command:

/cfg/sys/access/wport <x>

For workstation access to your switch via the Browser-Based Interface, open a Web browser window and type in the URL using the IP interface address of the switch, such as http:// 10.10.10.1.

Configuring BBI Access via HTTPS

The BBI can also be accessed via a secure HTTPS connection over management and data ports.

To enable BBI Access on the switch via HTTPS, use the following command:

/cfg/sys/access/https/access ena

To change the HTTPS Web server port number from the default port 443, use the following command:

/cfg/sys/access/https/port <x>
