1.3 The ROS™ Web Server Interface

1.3.1 Using a Web Browser to Access the Web Interface

A web browser uses a secure communications method called Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to encrypt traffic exchanged with its clients. Web server guarantees that communications with the client is kept private. If client requires access via unsecure http port, it will be rerouted to the secure port. The access via SSL will be granted any client that provides the correct password.

Your browser may complain about SSL Certificate that Web server issues. It happens because the certificate that comes with the Web server is not issued by a recognized certificate authority. However, network traffic is still encrypted.

Start a web browser session and open a connection to the switch by entering a URL that specifies its hostname or IP address (e.g. http://179.1.0.45). Once the switch is contacted, start the login process by clicking on the “Login” link. The resulting page should be similar to that presented below:
