Web GUI introduction
The web GUI is a friendly interface for the end users. A user can access the iBMC FW via a web
browser, and then go through the server status and do many configurations to the IBMC FW.
The default user privilege is set to administrator. The web function access rights are determined by
different privileges. For example, the administrator privilege can access all functions, but the user privilege
cannot.
The web GUI provides many useful functions, such as:
firmware update
system power control
system event log (SEL)
current sensor reading
configuration for: BMC network, user accounts, serial, PEF, alerts, SOL, information about BMC, and
the system

accessibility to the LAN channel. Use the system management software toset the user name, password,
and grant access. The default setting is shown below:
