5: Web and Command Line Interfaces
The SLC advanced console manager offers three interfaces for configuring the SLC unit: a
command line interface (CLI), a web interface, and an LCD with keypad buttons on the front panel.
This chapter discusses the web and command line interfaces.
Note:
See
Chapter 4: Quick Setup on page 50
for instructions on using the LCD front
panel to configure basic network settings, Web Manager, and CLI to perform quick setup.
Web Manager
A Web Manager allows the system administrator and other authorized users to configure and
manage the SLC 8000 advanced console manager using most web browsers (Firefox, Chrome or
Internet Explorer web applications with the latest browser updates). The SLC unit provides a
secure, encrypted web interface over SSL (secure sockets layer).
Note:
The web server listens for requests on the unencrypted (HTTP) port (port 80) and
redirects all requests to the encrypted (HTTPS) port (port 443). Web Telnet and Web SSH
features (utilized in SLC console managers with firmware 7.2.0.0 or earlier) require Java
1.1 (or later) support in the browser.
