Accessing the Administration Interface
You must access the Equalizer Administration interface through a Javascript-enabled
browser, such as Netscape Navigator 4.0 or later, or Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later.
Javascript must be enabled in the browser preferences.
The Equalizer Administration interface supports two user modes:
View allows you to view Equalizer configuration and status information. For more
information, see “Monitoring Equalizer Operation” on page 37.
Edit allows you to view all of the Equalizer configuration and status information and
modify the configuration.
Logging In
To access the administration interface and log into Equalizer:
1. Launch a Javascript-enabled web browser such as Netscape Navigator 4 or Microsoft
Internet Explorer 5.0.
2. From the browser, load the URL that corresponds to Equalizer's external address.
For example, if the external address is
199.146.85.2
, open the URL
http://
199.146.85.2/
to display the Equalizer Administration Interface. If you are using a
redundant pair of Equalizers, using the failover gateway address will ensure that the
browser connects to the Equalizer that has the primary role.
Equalizer displays the login dialog:
