Using the ProCurve Web Browser Interface
Starting a Web Browser Interface Session with the Switch
Using ProCurve Manager (PCM) or
ProCurve Manager Plus (PCM+)
ProCurve Manager and ProCurve Manager Plus are designed for installation
on a network management workstation. For this reason, the system require­
ments are different from the system requirements for accessing the switch’s
web browser interface from a non-management PC or workstation. For PCM
and PCM+ requirements, refer to the information provided with the software.
This procedure assumes that:
■ You have installed the recommended web browser on a PC or workstation
that serves as your network management station.
■ The networked device you want to access has been assigned an IP address
and (optionally) a DNS name, and has been discovered by PCM or PCM+.
(For more on assigning an IP address, refer to “IP Configuration” on page
8-2.)
To establish a web browser session with PCM or PCM+ running, do the
following on the network management station:
1. Make sure the Java
TM
applets are enabled for your web browser. If they
are not, refer to the web browser online Help for specific information on
enabling the Java applets.
2. In the Interconnected Devices listing under Network Manager Home (in the
PCM/PCM+ sidebar), right-click on the model number of the device you
want to access.
3. The web browser interface automatically starts with the Status Overview
window displayed for the selected device, as shown in figure 5-1.
