Using WebView

13

The switch can be configured and monitored using WebView, 
Alcatel-Lucent’s Web-based device management tool. 
WebView software is pre-installed in the switch; you are not 
required to load additional software.

Note. 

Although WebView software is pre-installed, you 

must first enable HTTP sessions for your switch before 
you can log in. Refer to 

“Unlocking Session Types” on 

page 9

 for more information.

Browser Compatibility

The following Web browsers are recommended for use with 
WebView: 

Internet Explorer 6.0 and later

Firefox 2 or 3

Logging In to WebView

Note. 

Before attempting to establish a WebView session, 

be sure that you have first unlocked the HTTP session 
type via the 

aaa authentication

 command. Otherwise, a 

login error will occur. See 

“Unlocking Session Types” on 

page 9

 for more information. 

To access WebView and log in to a switch:

1

Ensure there is proper IP connectivity between the PC 

and the OmniSwitch

2

Open any Alcatel-Lucent supported Web browser.

3

Enter the switch’s IP address in the browser’s 

“Address” field.
